 South Korean actress Ok So-Ri |
| Here’s something I didn’t know. South Korea is the only nation outside of Islamic states that has an actual law making adultery a criminal offense. It’s been challenged multiple times but has always been upheld based on the premise that “adultery is damaging to the social order.” Hmmm…totally disregarding a sacred institution for the sake of your own gratification…Yeah, I’d say that could be damaging to the social order. Of course, the law is apparently extremely gummy…As in this actress’ case, very rarely are people actually sent to jail for it. Ms. Ok received an 8 month suspended sentence, and her lover received a 6 month suspended sentence. *sigh* |
