Something on the side?

South Korean Adultery Laws: Harsh

From the perspective of Adultery Towers here in the Decadent West^™, South Korea’s laws on sexual behaviour look pretty batshit. Even the locals have started to get antsy about laws which included a bizarre crime of  ”making false promises of marriage in order to engage in sexual relations with women.”

Hell. It’s a wonder anyone’s been getting laid over there if they can’t pull the old “let’s get married… now drop your knickers” trick so beloved of lotharios the world over.

Anyway, the country’s supreme court have decided that the law “infantilised” women and in a landmark ruling struck down the law – brought as a test case after two recent examples where 2 year prison terms were handed down.

“The government should refrain from interfering in men’s sexual activities of tempting women in an unharmful manner”

Noted the court, sagely.

Despite that, adultery remains on the statute book in South Korea as a crime. Attempts to have this particular activity decriminalised were dismissed last year, and anyone shagging around on the side can look forward to two years in chokey if they get caught. Even if they don’t murder their lover.
