The North Korean leader has declared that ending a marriage demonstrates anti-socialist sympathies and warrants punishment.

"reports Radio Free Asia (RFA)."

can we ban radio free asia sources pls, thank you.

If this was real why wouldn't they just ban divorce?

Are we expected to believe you go to the divorce office and they're like "okay, and once you sign the divorce papers, we'll get you going off to the labor camps"

Are you saying it's not true based solely on the source?

What if it is true? Then can we keep them around?

RFA is expressly anti communist propaganda run by the USA government. Their source for this piece is "a guy told us".

It's hard to prove a negative, but I mean it does seem absolutely stupid.
