通姦好嗎?
Taiwan argues over decriminalizing adultery (chinanews.com)
At
the Cabinet's weekly meeting on March 14, Lung said, after hearing a report
from the Ministry of Justice on government efforts to promote human rights,
that she used to feel awkward when speaking with foreigners about the existence
of a law making adultery a crime in Taiwan, as well as its being a crime of
'civil disturbance', established in the Publication Law and the Criminal Code.
According to Article 239 of the Criminal Code,
a married person who commits adultery shall be sentenced to imprisonment for
not more than one year, with the other party subject to the same punishment.
Incidentally, adultery is not a crime in
mainland China. Among bigger countries, only South Korea and Islamic countries
still list adultery as a 'criminal offense'.
Later,
in an interview, Lung said, "It is a different era now. It is absurd that
marriage should still rely on the support of judges, police officers and
detectives.." She said she believes the law is 'not democratic enough',
and suggested its decriminalization.
Supporters and opponents have been debating
the issue, from the stances of the values they hold. The legal department in
charge of the law's administration argued the crime should be retained as it is
not against the constitution or the principle of equality. But it said the
matter would be further discussed after listening to opinions from all sectors
of society.
The
majority of divorce cases involve an alleged adulterer being subjected to a
criminal trial. Along with the divorce request based on the fault of adultery
often comes a request of compensation for mental distress caused by the
adultery.
Huang Ja-lei, a former judge and now a
Judicial Yuan official, said most women file criminal charges against their
husbands in the hope the husbands would end their affairs for fear of having a
criminal record.
He
said, however, that chances are that marriages were damaged even more once
charges were filed, and a charge is itself detrimental to a couple's
reconciliation.
"Many women thought they could get their
husbands back by taking [a case] to court. They tried to make a deal, promising
to drop the charge as long as the husband came back," Huang said.
"But, in reality, most of them only regret it when they realize the court
can't help love to continue."

Stereotypes
Examples (fos.iloveindia.com)
Whenever we don't have a good understanding of
a subject, say, of people or countries, then we tend to make assumptions about
them. Stereotype is nothing but those assumptions that have become common
knowledge. Whenever you make judgments about people without knowing them, you
are stereotyping them. Stereotyping makes people generalize things. More often,
they are all false assumptions. Though there are both positive and negative
stereotypes, a majority of them are offensive. People generally stereotype out
of bias against a particular group of people or religion. Stereotyping becomes
a way of conveying their dislike.
