ADULTERY..IS IT A CRIME?..should adulterer's be penalised..

Let's examine which type of marriage we are considering. There are two types here in North America. There is the civil marriage, performed as a contract between two adults. It is the binding agreement at the heart of both examples. Then there is the ceremonious marriage. Which could be performed with out a binding contract, however the government will not recognize the contract. So, for the purpose of divorce in the US and somewhat in Canada, I am not sure of Mexico as I believe they are still mostly religiously ruled in marriages, adultery is a grounds for the proceeding of lawsuit. The disolving of a contract is a lawsuit where on partner is the plaintiff, that is suing the other for breachin the contracts terms and conditions. One of which states, that A will take B as a lawfully wedded spose. The interpretation says that a lawfully wedded spouse honors their spouse by loyalty. By standards set forth in earlier times haveing copious relation with another person without your contracted partners acceptance is in clear violation of the contract. Just as inreconsilable differences is grounds as disputable business practices are for a business contract. When it comes to ceremonious marriages, it is more of a moral judgement which is personal conviction and should not be imposed on another person. If A disrupts the harmony of a union with B, it is A's moral conviction. B has the choice to forgive or dijoin the union. Some religions put far too much imphasis on male and not enough on equality. That in my opinion is due to the insecurity male mammals have primally built in to defend status and blood line. It is evident in every mammal. That being said, yes inferior social skills and unloyalty are the cause of many social troubles and is a vicious cycle that has no clear solution. This is a civil issue, is not a crime against the public or settlement and should not be treated as such.

Jie!! ni hao! :) Haven't had time to post the past couple of days. Missing out on earnings. Adultery!! Yes! In my opinion, it should be penalized. There is not happy ending when a spouse cheats. I think the law should state that any married person who commits adultery will be subjected to 100 beatings by the Imperial Guards and then "recycled" as eunuchs!

There was a high school teacher raped the student last week, he is in jail now. It is the crime case. I think the adulterer should be penalized. If no law on adultery, people will go for fun, their partner will be crazy, and they all will take turn and against to each other.

Yes, I do think that you have made a good post. Many marriages have broken up because of adultery. So many wives and husbands and children have suffered because of a spose being unfaithful. Yes, I do believe that someone who commits adultery and causes all of this misery and heartache should be punished under the law.

yes, ITS A CRIME. Come on we are civilized society compared to other animal species. We cant have people running on road like cats and dogs and mating as per this desire. This cant be allowed AT ANY COST. IT hass to be dealt with severe punishment.

I believe it should be against the law, although I'm not sure what the punishment should be. Marriage is a legal contract between two people, and since it is a legal situation, if you break those vows by committing adultery, then you should be guilty of a crime. If not a crime, it should at least be considered heavily in divorce proceedings and the adulterer should have some financial liability. And thier partner, if they were knowingly involved. If they were a victim, too, if the adulterer lied and said they were single, then they should also be due some sort of compensation. Adultery tears apart families, people, and children and I think we should have some sort of deterrent.

adultery is a crime! when you marry someone is your free will, and you choose to spend the rest of your life with that person. adultery shows no respect for your wife or husband. better get divorced in spite of doing this. i realy belive adultery should be penalised, so you'll think twice before doing it!

yes, adultery should be punished....these kind of actions degrade family values...if you will marry someone..stick to him/her! if you cannot, then don't marry at all.....that is why you marry each other because you want to spend the your whole life with each other...but then, if you are going to sleep in a bed with someone else and interfere on your marriage, then you just committed a crime against your wife and children...

Oh, my not a brainbox extraudinaire? This one got me thinking. Have you heard about prenump(sp) agreement. That drives me crazy. Think about this situation: imagine a guy/girl makes you sign a prenup for a house and all his possessions then he's the one that cheats, abuses, steals, and cause's his wife to go through hell as well as the children but he can just throw her out with nothing. I mean she can possibly sue because of abuse and such...but imagine if this women gets wealthy, owns alot...and then they want to go for a divorce. Does the man that made this women sign a prenump have any right to try to claim what she has done with her own sweat and blood seperate of his money because he was accustomed to comforts because of her wealth. I mean its cold to make someone sign a prenump not unless it's like it needs to stay under the family name cause we want to keep passing on the house or these things down are lineage. But-to have someone sign then want to take half of what they earn is downright greedy and selfish. Basically none is yours-and all is mine. what'd ya'll think. ADULTERY IS WRONG-and definite means for divorce-and I think it should break prenump too. Because the one who doesn't cheat deserves the house, money to support there kids so there lives aren't upheaveled. Don't get me started on adultery! IT's the ultimate betrayal.

ye, it should be punish by law.

I think that adultry should be penalized instead of the law turning a deaf ear to it.. I had it happen to me and i think it is the worst hurt and it is unforgiven in my eyes... Its not even grounds for divorce anymore..It disrupts the persons life who was cheated on.. It should carry a penalty of somesort.. Its hard to say without sounding bitter... I know now that I am better off now... At the time it hurt alot.. I thank god for getting me through it...

I think adultery should be made punishable by law. It's one thing that destroys marriages. If it was punishable maybe people would think twice about doing adultery.

What?? A crime? I think it isn't good, but it is not a serious problem!

I think it should be penalized because of all the problems that it causes the other person. There are so many changes and complications and especialy if the couple has to go through the divorce and all of that.

It is a Crime.....In the eyes of God & in the eyes of Man. As a child of God who created us, he declares the Royal Law which it is our duty to obey that law. Exo 20:14 Thou shall not commit adultery Ecc 8:5 Who so keepeth the Commandment shall feel no evil thing, and a wise man's heart discerneth both time & judgement 1 John 3:24 And he that keepeth His Commandments dwelleth in Him, and He in him, and hearby we know that he abided us, by the Spirit which He hath given us.

no, there are far too many other things that aren't being penalized properly.

adultery is actually not a crime but a sin. why i cal it only a sin is cuz u r actually decieving someone by this. but why it isn't a crime is because we cannot stick to our spouse even though shez been defending from bed. every bloody person's got his needs n requirements. wen they r not satisfied then obviously one wud search for alternatives.

yes and no

It is absolutely terrible that people disregard the vows that they take. Unfortunately Hollywood has glamorized adultery, thus rubbing off onto society (television, movies etc) It is so sad. The things it does to families, people's self esteem, all for a selfish act. I believe it should be punishable, especially if it breaks up the family. The person who did the adultering should have to be penalized for it.
