The crime of sexual intercourse under pretence of marriage(Article 304of Korean Penal Code) was pronounced as ‘unconstitutional’ by Korean Constitutional Court(KCC) on the ground that it criminalized a behavior that does not deserve to criminal sanction but only moral blame. Maybe that decision would have a great influence on the debate about abolition of the crime ‘adultery’ in Korean society. This paper has interest on the issue, ‘how or in which context the discourse of sexuality which is developed in the realm of feminism can be reflected in criminal legal discourse’. The above mentioned decision of KCC is based upon legal liberalism, the characteristic of which is that each man or woman equally has the right of sexual autonomy and free sex. However, "sexuality" is neither natural, nor neutral. It is socially constructed by gender-power in our society. This context of gender-power relation should be sincerely considered in criminal legal discourse. This article argues that the right to sexual autonomy of free sex should be understood as one which is based on the democratic and equal communications. The right to sexual autonomy would be infringed not only by a 'violent' sexual act, but also by a sexual act interpreted as not-violent, but based on the gender-distorted sexuality. And so only the reason of superficial freedom or equality of free sex can not justify the abolition of the crime ‘adultery’.
Abstract
The crime of sexual intercourse under pretence of marriage(Article 304of Korean Penal Code) was pronounced as ‘unconstitutional’ by Korean Constitutional Court(KCC) on the ground that it criminalized a behavior that does not deserve to criminal sanction but only moral blame. Maybe that decision would have a great influence on the debate about abolition of the crime ‘adultery’ in Korean society. This paper has interest on the issue, ‘how or in which context the discourse of sexuality which is developed in the realm of feminism can be reflected in criminal legal discourse’. The above mentioned decision of KCC is based upon legal liberalism, the characteristic of which is that each man or woman equally has the right of sexual autonomy and free sex. However, "sexuality" is neither natural, nor neutral. It is socially constructed by gender-power in our society. This context of gender-power relation should be sincerely considered in criminal legal discourse. This article argues that the right to sexual autonomy of free sex should be understood as one which is based on the democratic and equal communications. The right to sexual autonomy would be infringed not only by a 'violent' sexual act, but also by a sexual act interpreted as not-violent, but based on the gender-distorted sexuality. And so only the reason of superficial freedom or equality of free sex can not justify the abolition of the crime ‘adultery’.
