Kim Jong-un orders divorcing couples to labour camps under tough new rules
The North Korean leader has declared that ending a marriage demonstrates anti-socialist sympathies and warrants punishment
Summary
Kim Jong-un has introduced stricter laws in North Korea, sending both spouses in divorcing couples to labor camps for up to six months, with women often receiving longer sentences.
The regime views divorce as anti-socialist. Previously, only the spouse who initiated the divorce was punished.
Rising divorce rates since COVID-19 lockdowns have persisted despite public humiliation and threats of expulsion from the Korean Workers’ Party.
Reports indicate labor camps house dozens of divorcees, mostly in their late 30s, under harsh conditions.

This sources it's information from Radio Free Asian(RFA) which is a known propaganda arm of the USA... If you don't believe me the would you believe the CIA?

Weird wonder why they need to fund propaganda against North Korea 🤔
Cool. What unbiased source is reporting freely from the DPRK? I would love to see some honest, independent reporting about this topic. Take your time, I'll wait.
What did I say that you disagree with? I never said I had an unbiased source as to what is going on in North Korea lol. I only pointed out the above article is blatant propaganda.
Not sure why you're being sassy stranger. I don't know who hurt you but I promise it wasn't me lol
Yeah but the mbfc source they love so much says RFA is credible and unbiased
It was a cia mouthpiece from 1951 to 1955. Its modern iteration is far removed from that. While we could really get into the weeds about RFA as a source, the fact that you're citing random cia docs from 1953 without either realizing or indicating that the CIA program was defunded 2 years later leads me to believe you aren't interested in legitimate debate about this.
Super loaded comment. Who said anything about a debate?
My source wasn't random in mentioned RFA being funded by name? What?
Why do you think the USA stopped funding RFA? They didn't...
