Bit of a question, don't you think? Now, when people get married, isn't it a legal vow that shows how much you care for another person? How much you desire to be with them forever? Infidelity in marriage should, in my opinion, be classified as a crime because, in the process, a legal vow is being broken. If you're really that desperate to see someone else's sheets, shoot for a divorce.
Should infidelity be punishable by law?

but people commiting the act are really just getting divorces the quick way and taking out the middle man…..
No I don't think it should be a crime, because no property was lost and noone was hurt.

But people who commit infidelity while married are still legally bound together. So, people really should get a legal divorce if they want to be with someone else that badly.
-
but thats what they do
if one of them gets pissed off enough by the affair, they go to court…..theres no problem with the current way things happen
-
When someone commits infidelity they shouldn't be allowed to ask for "half the possessions" when they divorce, which I believe is already part of the law here.
Aside from that punishing it by law.. maybe something like not allowing them to get married for a certain amount of time (5-10 years) would be appropriate, but not something more serious, no one would realistically go for it except for people that are deeply religious (granted there are a lot of them, but more importantly they don't control the major funders of campaigns).

We should make pornography, smoking, and gambling illegal too

… infidelity? as in beeing an atheist? are you bloody nuts?
or whats the definition of infidelity?
is it the same as adultery? haveing sexual intercourse with someone else then your spouse?
if so then: no, there's no point as the whole swinger community would then become criminals. They are haveing other partners all the time without anyone beeing hurt.
whatever happens between 2 consenting adults are their buissness. you cant have the goverment or any kind of authorety policing peoples bedroom.
If someone is hurt by the act its regretteble but thats something that has to be solved by prenups(spelling?) during the divorce.What the…? Holy smurf am I slow! Until this statement of yours I never even realized that an octopus is actually serving octopusballs. Talk about not seeing the forest because of too many trees. facepalm
-
So do we have varying degrees of punishment here?
For kissing, holding hands, laughing at eachothers jokes, giving eyes, oral, anal, intercourse, intercourse resulting in a child.In short, no, thats fucking ridiculous.
-
No. What if they're swingers and that's just their thing? Don't deny them their kinky pleasures!
-
Techincally speaking, would that make it a crime for a married person to look at porn?
No, it should not be punishable by law. If we made infidelity a legal matter, then why not make spending your spouse's money without their permission a crime? Or how about making it a crime for an angry spouse to throw their spouse out of the bedroom to sleep on the couch for a night? Oh hell, let's just have making any decision without the involvement of your spouse a crime. Better yet, let's make every single type of problem that can ever occur in this world a matter of law.
Let a couple take care of the problem by themselves. It's best for them.
-
Shoot them all and let God sort them out…
Now let's never speak of this again. -
No, because generally the pain and aggravation of dealing with infidelity is punishment enough in the long run. It's a personal matter that the law does not need to stick its nose into. Court systems in CA are bad enough with the "no fault" law in divorce.
I was just hearing a story from someone I know who's wife was having an affair with a coach at the school she worked at. She divorced her husband and married the other guy, and he turned out to be a controlling jerk.
She brought her own grief upon herself, what good would bringing an outside force of law do? -

No, I meant someone not in a magazine or on the internet.

That's actually a pretty good idea, in my opinion. It might teach the person to reconsider their actions involving their marriage and adultery. It could also be a more preferable option than something like jail time.
-
None of this ever would cause problems if these people learned not to get caught.
-
You wanna know the problem with that DeadJ? 90% of the time, the only people that can get away with it are people that have previously been caught and learned from their mistake.
So, sadly it's a moot argument.If you've had a partner cheat/have cheated on a partner you know what I'm talking about, unless you're a 'pro'
-
No. Dear god no.
Reminds me where they tried to make it illegal in Michigan.
No it shouldn't be and never should be illegal.
-
Is the OP married? Has the OP been cheated on or just what exactly is the motivation for this thread anyway? what made you think about adultery and ways to discurage it?
I saw a thread with just the same topic on another forum just before i registred at this one.
i think one argument was a texas vs lawrence or some other name that stated any laws about adultery would be unconstitutional or something. Since im not american i didnt really look in to it though.
-
Even if it became a law, it would be treated like jay-walking; everyone will do it at one point.
-
The legal process that allows a cuckolded spouse to seek compensation from the cheating one should be enough. People do have different views on what their partners should and should not do, so that would make it hard for the court itself to decide if the cheater should be punished or not, and to what degree.
Matters of households and matters of the state should be as separated from one another as possible, imo.
-
Banning it would be like ignoring human instinct.

there is one sentence that summarizes my view on the subject in this post. will you find it?
-
Saying 'nuff said' isn't typically a good reason to bump a 4 month old thread. :/
-
er no?
the Reasons behind some one getting it on with another person that they arn't married to, are numerous.
and your an idiot for wanting ANOTHER stupid law.
did you know that in europe, it common and understood that the man in a marriage may have a mistress?
-

please state where you live (chicken doesnt tell me anything) and exactly what part of europe you are talking about…
cant respond to this with the vague information you have given so far.
(to me it sounds like a rumor and even if its not, just because its commonly understood a man may have mistresses doesnt mean its accepteble.) -
You do realize that most of Americans would go to jail if they did
-
WOW. are you kidding me? 90% of the world would be in prison then (exagrated). Just how old are you? you seem one the young side onepieceloever.

viewing his profile you can see he is 13 years old.
but iv seen this come up in other forums by people older then him.

As far as I'm concerned, who you fuck really isn't the governments business. If they want to restrict you and say, "No, you can only fornicate with this person and this person only." Like Zephos said, the whole concept of this shit is fucking ridiculous.

its more fun if you guess! :O

i say they should make a law on it…seems reasonable...
but it wouldnt make much of a difference...i mean...look at illegal downloading for example...everyone still downloads, who is there to keep watch on people, who is there to keep watch on themselves
well...at least this law makes much more sense than gun control law (w/e thats called)...
"i have a gun to protect myself from others who have guns" great logic...if someone really wants to shoot u, i doubt u will even notice that he is pulling his gun out...even if u do, what makes u think u can shoot him back
-you- pulling a gun out ready to shoot back
-killer- has his fingers on the trigger, gun pointing at uwho wins?
