Adultery Legal In South Korea by entadaplace2: 3:22pm On Feb 17, 2016
While surfing the net, i found this piece and i feel it is best to let you guys know. It is almost a year now since adultery have been legalized in South Korea. This should make you want to go to South Korea.

The South Korean Constitutional Court at its plenary session on February 25, 2015, blazed the trail by striking down a 60-year-old law banning adultery by making it legal.

According to the Guardian UK, the long standing law had forbidden the act with anyone caught being jailed for two years but now, the citizens are free to indulge.

In an unprecedented judgement, the presiding justice, Park Han-Chul, remarked that though the act of adultery is bad and immoral, the state has no power to interfere with the individual lives of the people and as such, no one caught will be punished.

He said:

“Even if adultery should be condemned as immoral, state power should not intervene in individuals’ private lives.”

In the past few years, close to 5,500 people have been formerly arraigned on adultery charges with 216 people jailed for ‘committing’ in 2004 alone, something liberals find to be infringing on people’s rights.

In the past adultery could only be prosecuted on complaint from an injured party, and any case was closed immediately if the plaintiff dropped the charge, a common occurrence that often involved a financial settlement.

That means that in South Korea, you can sleep with your neighbour’s wife without any qualm!

I thought it's same in most parts of the world. Haven't read or seen where a person was sued and legally punished for committing adultery. It has never been a state but private affairs.

it is a state affair in nigeria, usually settled in the customary court. it is a civil offense though, not a criminal one except in cases of battery or abuse.

Quite so. What more would anyone had expected from Muslim dominated countries, where women are seen as skivvy, subordinates and subalterns to the men. No surprise.

Strangely, these archaic laws are only applicable when a woman cheats, the men are exonerated. What a joke.

Ehm. I'm pretty sure you get publicly whipped for cheating in most Arab countries. According to shariah law.

Their government made it so for a reason.
Probably a culture thing.
Do same in any Arab country and you're likely to get horse whipped. tongue
