THE OPEN SECRET IN N KOREA - DIVORCE IS AGAINST THE NORM OF THE LAW SO CHEATING IS ALLOWED AS WOMEN ARE FORCED TO LOOK FOR THE RICH HUSBAND THROUGH THE CHEATING SPOUSE TO PAY FOR THE FAMILY LIVELIHOOD FOR THE SHAMEFUL ACT FOR LACK OF JOBS- THUS ASHLEYMADISON WOULD DO WELL IN THIS COMMUNIST COUNTRY AS RUN BY LEFTIST ATTITUDES AND NORMS

An increasing number of married women in North Korea are reportedly looking for rich men for a living.

North Korean defector-led media New Focus reported Thursday that adultery is not a crime in the North, and such acts of cheating are arranged under mutual consent of wives and husbands. But when those who commit adultery cause any sort of harm to people around them, they are charged with disorderly conduct.

"It has become common for women in North Korea to cheat on their spouses," North Korean defector Kim Hyun-sook said. "More and more married women make that choice for their family due to the threat of poverty."

Kim also said that those women approach rich men on purpose, and their husbands overlook such behavior and tell their spouses instead to take charge of their family finances. Some even encourage their wives to go out and meet rich men, and some even arrange a meeting with them through a third party to pull themselves out of poverty.

"This is not acceptable in South Korea, but many women in the North have no other choice for their livelihood," she said. "The North Korean government should take the blame for this."

North Korean defector Jung Nam-hyuk said: "People in North Korea say that if you are divorced, you are guilty, but those who cheat are innocent."
