South Korea seeks to jail actress for adultery

At first I thought, "Adultery laws are sucky!"  But, when I read why South Korea originally passed their adultery law, well...

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean prosecutors on Wednesday demanded a popular actress who tried to overturn the country's law that criminalises adultery be thrown in jail for a year and a half for having an affair, local media reported. South Korea enacted its adultery law more than 50 years ago to protect women who had few rights in the male-dominated society but critics say now it is a draconian measure no longer fit for a country with an advanced civil and family court system.
