WATCH: Taiwan decriminalized adultery in a landmark ruling, joining South Korea and India in Asia which struck down a ban on marital infidelity in 2015 and 2018, respectively
TAIPEI - Taiwan’s constitutional court on Friday decriminalised adultery in a landmark judgment aimed at upholding personal rights and privacy, scrapping a law that activists said discriminated against women.
The constitutional court struck down the adultery law that meant those who had sex with a married person, or with a person outside marriage, could face up to a year in jail. The adultery law was a violation of a person’s sexual autonomy as well as a “serious invasion of privacy”, he said. But questions have been growing for some time about a law that rights activists have criticised as an outdated infringement, with more than 20 petitions brought to courts by people and judges demanding interpretation of it.
