Keep It in Your Pants...

This was the headline of today's Korea Herald:

'ADULTRY LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL'

Here is some information: I guess since 1953, the Koreans have been pushing a law to make adultry illegal because it is "the public's perception that adultry undermines social order" and that the "law is intended to safe guard marriage, which is the bedrock of family life". So they believe that if you are caught having an affair, which will no doubt ruin your families life; you go to jail for two years. That won't ruin your families life at all. Of course, you can only go to jail if your spouse presses charges, but there is still the chance.

I just thought it was an interesting read and insight into the Korean mind. If you want to read the whole article you can click here. It doesn't take you to the article itself--so you have to search for it if you are reading this on any other day than today (10.31). Let me know what you think!!
