I've been going through Tae Kim's grammar guide and cannot work out how the と particle works in this sentence:
韓国人と結婚しなくてはならん！(You must marry a Korean!)
Is [韓国人と結婚] like saying "marriage with Korean person"?

Incidentally, "韓国人と結婚" is kind of breaking the sentence in the wrong place because you've broken the verb (結婚する) in half. 韓国人と結婚する : 'to marry a Korean'. (That is, this と is the 'doing a verb together with somebody else' one, not the 'noun and noun' one.)

My brain wants to adjust this to 韓国人との結婚.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Like pm215 said, it becomes noun + noun otherwise, which is odd in this situation "koreans and marriage, good stuff!". I mean, it's grammatically correct, but not something you would use often.'
However, I fear we might confuse Ydde2009 with these points ^^
