South Korea Legalises Adultery
South Korea’s Constitutional Court on Thursday struck down a 60-year-old
statute outlawing adultery under which violators faced up to two years
in prison.
The nine-member bench ruled by seven to two that the 1953 law was unconstitutional.“Even if adultery should be condemned as immoral, state power should not intervene in individuals’ private lives,” said presiding justice Park Han-Chul.
