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.

    I think the logic is that a low birth rate is bad for the state. To harm the state makes one an anti-socialist.

      Does divorce by itself even lower the birthrate though? Intuitively, one might suspect that a couple that were no longer interested in eachother probably isn’t having many children, compared to if those people were to pair off again with new partners?

        Yeah, I feel like promoting healthcare for pregnant people and children, giving incentives to having kids and pushing out propaganda pertaining to sex without condoms feeling better and pregnant women being sexy is all the rage while using movies, tv, and music to push promiscuity would help birth rates.
