Emptybottle.org: Adultery

So we're having lunch, and one of my Canadian co-workers, who has a tendency to talk more than his fair share of sh-t, is yammering on about how half of the women in Korean prisons are there for adultery. I'm about to call 'bullsh-t' when one of our Korean colleagues chimes in and verifies what he's saying. The laws still regard adultery as a jailable offence, but the only people being prosecuted, for most part, are women.

Apparently it's commonplace, when a wife in this country is discovered to be cuckolding a husband, for said husband to press charges, and for the wife to be prosecuted and sent to jail. This in a place where there is an omnipresent, enormous, but largely invisible sex industry, and where men are almost expected to take a mistress when they reach that magic socio-economic stratum where simple whores are no longer de riguer. Or at least not in front of the guys.

I just start getting a handle on this place, and then something comes along to make me realize how deeply I don't get it.
