I found this very interesting article about a woman in South Korea who was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to 8 months in prison. So, how the story relates to class is that earlier this year, this woman filed an petition to have the law ruled unconstitutional due to an invasion of privacy. In Korea, adultery is a crime and not one that is always carried out. The article stated that the number of adultery cases in Korea has declined in recent years from 12,760 in 2000 to 8,070 in 2006. There are many opponents of the law that claim that the law in unconstitutional and an invasion of privacy. If you were to relate the adultery law to the United States, then I feel that it would be deemed unconstitutional. Due to the differences in our constitution and our bill of rights and even the Griswold v. Connecticut case about the ban of abortion pills.
