Is having an extra marital affair illegal? what do you think??

I don't think it is illegal. Immoral & dishonest...yes. It shows very little regard or respect for your partner, I think. I wouldn't do it.

it is indeed illegal because it happened outside the marriage. When you get married, you vow to each other that you'll love each other for better or for worse and that you won't leave your pair. It also broke 2 of the ten commandments. Thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife, male/female slave, or anything that belongs to your neighbor and thou shall not commit adultery. Is that enough proof that it is illegal?Ü

Hi gamesurfer! I think you know the answer of the question, before seeking other's opinion. As the words suggest 'extra marital', anything which is beyond law and is not accepted by the Society is illegal. One gets married to stay with a partner, however, if s/he gets distracted and indulge in a relationship outside his/her marriage, it is not a healthy state of affairs, as s/he disturbs his/her family atmosphere. Ruining one's family life for the sake of someone, with whom you are not legally wedded will be called an illegal practice. All said and done, knowing fully well it is illegal, people indulge in such practices, keeping aside ethics and society norms.

I missed the old time where ppl can get more than 1 wife. If 1st wife is not as good as she was, get a 2nd wife and ask the 1st wife to do the work which the maid should do it. If 2nd wife not good, get a 3rd wife. As long as you have enough money to feed them. Nothing can be judge good or bad in this world.

In my personal opinion whether it is illegal or not I do not know but this is definitely cheating to your spouse.because as we are tied up with some one we should not stick or like to another if any problem is going on then they should separate after that they should go for another partner.

I think that it is wrong no I know that is is worng to have more than one partner especialy y you are married. I would never be able to be with more than one person I have never done it. It has happend to me in my previous relationship and I hated it and that is the main reason it never worked.

Well, I don't think an extra marital affair is right...but I don't think it's illegal either. I mean....you aren't arrested or anything for it. But my principles and values say it is wrong...but I also know of situations where there are justifications for it.....but I still feel that a person needs to get out of a marriage in order to pursue another relationship with another person. Just my view.

Yes, it is illegal because you get married under the law and extra-marital affairs is breaking that law. It is not a crime though, more of a civil offense. I believe that adultery is a ground for divorce. I do not think it is ok to have an affair after you are married, you have made a vow before the altar to remain faithful to your spouse and having an affair is not being faithful

it's not illegal. but just because it is legal doesn't make it okay. whether a couple is married or not it is morally unnacceptable to me to have a relationship with someone already in a monogamous relationship.

nope, ofcourse noones like to have an affair or to be in it.

Illegal and immoral.Why indulge onself in an extra marital affair?Some people had their reason for doing so,but,it's a matter of respect to your wife/husband,respect to the your marriage vows,to your children,yourself,and fear to God.

i think, it is a crime. in the first place why marry someone you don't really love? when you're really not contented with them? knowing that you're husband/wife is having an affair with someone else within your marriage is really painful... i suggest that before committing with someone, think twice to prevent such problems... because we might end up hurting them and ourselves as well =)

i wouldnt call it illegal ... but it is morally wrong... why get married if your going to have affairs ... just save everyone the pain and just dont get married.... a person that has an affair isnt ready for marriage

I think if a person is having a affair something is wrong with their marriage. As far as it being illegal, there are now cases that women have sued the other person for braking up their marriage.

of course an extramarital affair is illegal that once proven in court it is a ground for a divorce and maybe an annulment. the willing party can also be subjected to court proceedings which means a criminal record and an ensuing humiliating investigation. there is a contract signed in a marriage. although am only speaking for some cultures...

I think one should think 100 times before he creates a mistake knowingly. One should not really have a extra marital affair if he/she really cares for his/her husband/wife.

it is definitely illegal for it against the law of God and of man. DISRESPECTFUL,UNJUST for the wife or husband. Pray & ask for the right person that you will marry so that in the end you will not go some extras. BE CONTENTED for what you have.
