We can't make a quick judgment on other cultures in the eyes of westerners - or should I say "Americans" -- without comprehensive understanding. Traditionally, the women's groups in Korea supported the adultery law to protect women - less previledged both financially and socially - from getting divorced without any rights to their children and financial independence. (In Korea, the father assumes the custody of children in case of divorce.) However, more and more women's groups turn to oppose to this law as they recognize the social/economical/financial/legal progress that women in the country have made. It was only recently that we can comfortably say, "let's do something about it." If you really understand the society and the women’s social/legal status ten years ago, you would agree that this law has protected “women’s rights” in Korea. We can’t make a quick judgment on other cultures in the eyes of westerners – or should I say “Americans” — without comprehensive understanding.
