| | Adultery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Historically adultery has been subject to severe sanctions including the death penalty and has been grounds for divorce under fault-based divorce laws. | | | In places where adultery laws are actually enforced, women are often punished more harshly than men, in some cases being considered guilty of adultery even when they have been raped. | | | In Canadian law, adultery is defined under the Divorce Act. |

| | The adultery of the plaintiff, to bar a divorce, must be such as could be made the basis of an action for divorce by the defendant. | | | The commission of adultery, or the creation of the appearance of having committed it, with the consent or privity of the other party, or under an arrangement between the spouses, has been held to be collusion. | | | Where one spouse suspects that the other is about to commit adultery, he or she may obtain evidence of the act without being guilty of connivance. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Adultery |
| | Considering now the act in itself, adultery, forbidden by the sixth commandment, has in it a twofold malice, In common with fornication it violates chastity, and it is, besides, a sin against justice. | | | But the notion that obligations of fidelity rested upon the husband the same as upon the wife is one that has not always found practical exemplification in the laws of Christian states. | | | At present, in our States there is not this discrimination, but divorce, when granted on the ground of adultery, is obtainable by the wife just as by the husband. |

| | The punishment of adultery, in the United States, generally, is fine and imprisonment. | | | In England it is left to the feeble hands of the ecclesiastical courts to punish this offence. | | | In many eastern European countries, adultery does not in itself constitute grounds for divorce; both partners must testify, under the principle of “general breakdown,” that the offense results in the decline of those feelings of which marital unity is composed. |

| | Adultery By Franklin Foer |
| | Before the 1970s, when every state passed a "no fault divorce" law, adultery was usually the only reason courts would grant divorces. | | | Most states have not enforced their adultery laws since World War II. | | | The United States inherited English common law, which made adultery, as well as fornication (sex between unmarried people) and sodomy (oral and anal sex), punishable crimes. |

| | While bawdy courts once mandated harsh punishments for adultery, today's laws generally have lesser sentences of up to a year in jail and small fines. | | | Imagine the work for the courts if prosecutors vigorously enforced the laws against fornication, which is generally defined as premarital sex -- a crime that a 1988 study found was practiced by more than 75 percent of women and more than 80 percent of men by the age of 19. | | | While Hensley was divorced, Bushey was married and therefore subject to a criminal adultery charge, a misdemeanor. |

| | Now, apparently, there is the same kind of deformity in seduction and adultery: since in either case a woman is violated who is under another person's authority. | | | I answer that, Adultery, as its name implies, "is access to another's marriage-bed [ad alienum torum]" [Cf. | | | And since the man who is too ardent a lover of his wife acts counter to the good of marriage if he use her indecently, although he be not unfaithful, he may in a sense be called an adulterer; and even more so than he that is too ardent a lover of another woman. |
