A former boss of mine did 6 months porridge for this back around 2002ish. No idea if the married fella she'd slept with got anything.
Silly law. |

| According to the link you provided, adultery is not now legal. It may no longer carries criminal penalties, but it still violates civil law. |

| It's been de-criminalized. It's still a tort nonetheless. |

Already this decision has opened the doors to all kinds of debauchery... just like they said it would. |

| I don't have a problem with the old law. It wasn't about preventing personal choices. It was more about protecting children. |

Right. It doesn't really make sense to say something "violates" civil law, as civil law is concerned with liability and redress among private parties. But then you have stuff like administrative law and anything that is regulated, so it's not always clear-cut to say certain behavior is "illegal" or not.
If I come to your house and flood your bathroom because I kept flushing the toilet when it was clearly clogged, I didn't "violate" the law, but I could have to compensate you for damages to your bathroom if you brought a civil action.
To clarify, by civil law I mean as opposed to criminal law (and not civil law vs. common law systems). |

I'm not a lawyer, and I'd love to learn more, so help me out here. Why does a legal advice article like this, allegedly written by someone with some measure of (at least self-declared) legal training and experience, contain a phrase like, "Although adultery is not a criminal offense, it’s still in violation of certain Texas civil laws," if it doesn't make sense to say something "violates" civil law? Or why does this book, likewise written by someone ostensibly with some knowledge of law, include the phrase, "Civil procedure is used when civil law has been violated," if it doesn't make any sense? Semantics are important, and if I've said something in error, I obviously don't want to make the same mistake again, so I'd appreciate it if you could explain this for me in depth. Thanks in advance! |

| Perhaps if Koreans took more time getting to know each other before getting hitched, there would be more happy marriages. Not living together before marriage is a mistake. You never really know someone until you share a living space. |

How does a "personal choice" like adultery benefit a family with children?
What good does it do the kids?
Personal choices are fine so long as they only affect yourself. When a person's actions negatively affect innocent children, it's a different story. |

Perhaps an unhappy marriage also affects innocent children, too?
This line of reasoning seems awfully PC.
don't drink soju...protect the children.
don't *beep* your neighbors wife...protect the children
There is a good chance that many of these innocent children were the result of adultery.
And there is also a chance that some of these innocent children were a cause of adultery.
Not sure this topic need be too concerned with innocent children. |
