Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered that divorcing couples be sent to labour camps for up to six months, with women potentially facing longer sentences.

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

This information makes it much more plausible, sure, but it still doesn’t prove anything.

Yes. Getting hard information from a very closed country requires more time. And I'm sure that does tempt people with inventing news about North Korea, so I understand your skepticism.

Over time, news tend to get confirmed or refuted, so in a few weeks or months, one should find out with a high degree of certainty.

There's also the fact that this source does that systematically for funding, there is no less reliable of a source, if radio free asia told me the sky is blue in NK I wouldn't buy it.
