Is it really sensible for Korea to have an anti-adultery law?

Who believes it is effective?

The law has been challenged four times, but the country's top judges have always ruled that adultery is damaging to social order, and the offence should therefore remain a crime.


By that logic, all the protests going on in Seoul over FTA and madcow nonsense should be illegal too. I'm pretty sure 50,000+ [st]morons[/st]protesters laying waste to downtown Seoul, throwing rocks at riot police, and causing billions of dollars in damage both monetarily and in international reputation is "damaging to the social order".

Furthermore, with a sex industry of around $4bn, there's a whoooooole lot of adultery doing on here. I wonder if husbands ever get charged for adultery when they go to a room salon, or double barbershop pole place, or get a coffee girl, or go to any of the red light districts found in every city here.

It's unbelievable that this is illegal. Grounds for divorce? Sure. Punishable by jail? Eff that.
