South Korea has legalized adultery, as the country’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.
It was the fifth time the apex court had considered the
constitutional legality of the legislation which had made South Korea one of
the few non-Muslim countries to regard marital infidelity as a criminal act.
In the past six years, close to 5,500 people have been
formerly arraigned on adultery charges, including nearly 900 in 2014.
