I wrote a post regarding divoirce issue when a husband did an act of unchastity. By the way, what if he did commit an adultery? It surely not only constitutes a legal ground for divorce on behalf of the wife but also the wife can accuse the husband of adultery to the police. Because, according to the Korean Criminal Law, unlikely with U.S. law, a married person who commits adultery shall be punished by immprisonment for not more than 2 years.

So if an American husband is having an affair with a married Korean woman, can the American wife file charges civil or criminal against the Korean woman? And if so how would I go about doing so?
We sent you an email.
Does the law apply equally in the case of a wife’s adultery?
Yes it does.
