Is Adultery a Crime?

【Abolished Adultery Law】
In South Korea, there used to be a law against adultery. According to Article 241 of the Korean Criminal Code before February 2015, "Those who commit adultery while having a spouse and the adulterer can be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not more than 2 years." However, this adultery law was abolished in 2015.

This change was led by a ruling from the South Korean Constitutional Court in February 2015. The ruling stated that the punishment criteria of the adultery law excessively infringed on citizens' sexual autonomy and privacy rights, violating the constitution. The main reasons behind the Constitutional Court's ruling were:

1. Lack of Social Consensus: South Korean society lacked a general consensus on whether adultery should be subject to criminal punishment. This lack of certainty made the criminalization of adultery controversial and unreasonably interfered with individuals' sexual autonomy.

2. Limitation of Free Will: The existence of the adultery law limited people's free choice to decide whether to maintain their marriages. This limitation could hinder individuals from making reasonable marriage decisions based on their emotions and values, violating their free will.

3. Failure to Achieve its Purpose: The provisions of the adultery law did not achieve their claimed goal of maintaining marital loyalty and happiness. The criminal punishment for adultery did not force spouses to remain loyal nor ensure the success and happiness of marriages.

In conclusion, since 2015, South Korea no longer considers adultery a criminal offense, and the law no longer imposes criminal sanctions on acts of adultery.


【Divorce System】
The divorce system in South Korea is divided into two main categories:

1. Consensual Divorce
Consensual divorce occurs when both spouses agree to end the marriage. When both parties reach a mutual agreement, they can apply for a consensual divorce. Before the divorce application enters the court procedure, there is a waiting period called the "cooling-off period" or "consideration period." This period is designed to provide both parties with ample time to contemplate and reevaluate their decision, ensuring that divorce is a well-considered choice.

- If there are no children involved, the cooling-off period is 1 month.
- If there are minor children (including unborn children), the cooling-off period is 3 months.

2. Contested/Adjudicated Divorce
If the couple cannot come to an agreement on the terms of divorce, they may need to file a lawsuit and go through the process of an adjudicated divorce.

The adjudicated divorce system in South Korea follows the principle of "fault-based divorce." This means that the party requesting the divorce needs to provide evidence of misconduct, malicious abandonment, or a situation of life or death uncertainty for at least 3 years on the part of the other spouse. This principle emphasizes that divorce decisions should be based on valid reasons supported by evidence, rather than simply granting support because one party initiated the divorce.

In summary, the divorce system in South Korea provides couples with the options of consensual divorce and adjudicated divorce. The cooling-off period is in place before the divorce application goes through court proceedings to ensure sufficient time for consideration before making significant decisions. Additionally, the principle of "fault-based divorce" highlights the need for substantial and valid reasons for divorce applications. If infidelity is discovered and whether you are negotiating a consensual divorce or undergoing a lawsuit, having "evidence" is crucial to gaining an advantage in negotiations and legal proceedings. Lida Investigation Agency can provide you with the necessary assistance in such cases.
