If you get a divorce in North Korea, you and your spouse will be sent to a labor camp for one to six months to atone for your “crimes,” residents in the country told Radio Free Asia.

Divorce is considered an anti-socialist act, and is generally frowned upon in Korea.

    But only if its the woman who wants the divorce… And then only if the man’s income is above $1000000 otherwise they are poor and therefore should be in a labour camp/work for Amazon anyway. If they are same sex they go to the camp anyway.

    Not sure if /s is appropriate cos I am a “right ponder” and don’t know how close to the truth I am…

      Yeah, or they make a fine rule “For 100.000$ you can buy you out of the camp or send an immigrant to take your place.”

      Because of course Trump, his cronies and all these idiots still want the option to get rid of their (35+) “aging” wife’s and make sure the 20 year old they bought cannot run away that fast.

      I fully expect a “you cannot leave the country without your husband’s approval” app like in Saudi Arabia at some point.
