Lovers and paramours are no longer criminals… at least in South Korea!
The country just struck down a 60-year-old controversial law that criminalizes adultery, according to Yahoo! News.
Under the old law, those charged with adultery can stay in jail up to two years.
What is even more interesting is that after the law was abolished, condom sales in South Korea went up by as much as 15% daily!
…perhaps to celebrate, we suppose?
The report said that according to the nine-member bench, while the law was originally created to protect “traditional family values”, it was still unconstitutional, and that while adultery was immoral, the state has no right to intervene in individual private lives.
Judging from that, it’s clear that the South Korean state wants NOTHING to do with their citizens’ drama!
After all, those are what K-dramas are for, right? Hope it turns out well for them!
What do you think of this? Should the Philippines follow suit?
