通姦罪合憲性之再思考

Rethinking of the Constitutionality of Adultery Offense

雖然釋字第544號解釋肯認通姦罪之合憲性，然其理由是否有洽，法理上並非無疑。本文除檢討該號解釋之說理論證外，亦另自限制性自由權的角度出發，說明通姦罪之處罰存在違反人性尊嚴的疑慮，並指出處罰通姦罪並非維護家庭制度之必要手段。

Although the Grand Justice Interpretation of No. 544 affirmed the constitutionality of the adultery offense, it is questionable if it still makes sense in reasoning. This study discusses the constitutionality of adultery offense from the viewpoint of limitation on the right to sex liberty against the humanity to justify the unconstitutionality of the adultery offense, in addition to criticize the reasoning of the Interpretation of No. 544. As a result, the study claims that adultery offense is not necessary to maintain the family institution.
