Japan Statistics

61% of Japanese wives check their husband's cell phone histories, according to a poll conducted by the Macromill internet company.

Married women aged 20 - 39 surveyed said they were checking for extramarital affairs (35%), just out of curiosity (34%), or to see if their husbands were hiding anything (28%).
