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.

    So, they allow divorce, but that comes bundled with a near death sentence for both?

    Wasn’t easier to just forbid divorces? I’m guessing the elite needs divorces for when they find a hotter girl.

      Could be the start of the plot for a romantic comedy brought to you by NK’s propaganda films department. Divorcing couple sign the papers, get carted off to a labor camp and learn to love the state – and each other (but mostly the state) – all over again.

    If Project 2025 becomes a reality we might start seeing headlines which say “In the United States, couples who divorce will be sent to labor camps”.

      No, it’s funded by Congress, but that hardly means anything.

      You need to go learn what editorial independence is. Journalists for RFA aren’t being sentenced to 3 generations of there family being out into concentration camps for disagreeing with the US govt.

          Congress holds the checkbook. Nothing any part of the federal government does is funded by anyone unless they write the metaphorical check.

          News about the world is important to have without it coming from private money, just as news from private money is important to have so it isn’t all coming from the governments money.

          Other instances of money being used in this way is PBS. So, Mr. Rogers, Reading Rainbow, Sesame Street, Arthur, The Magic School Bus, Wishbone… all aired on TV for the American populous because Congress wrote a check.

        Careful. If Trump could read, he’d think that was a brilliant idea.
