Would you support a law that makes adultery illegal? (Page 2)

Question

Countries where Infidelity is (or isn't) frowned upon (Reddit) In my country a spouse can face up to 5 years in prison for adultery. Now I don't think this is actually enforced, but the law is there. I wish it could be more enforced and not just on paper. One might say "No that's pity, I will just leave them and find someone else) but to me this isn't a valid-enough argument because the harms of infidelity goes beyond the individual-level, but impacts society as a whole. I actually support adultery law for multiple reasons: 1)  It causes mental and emotional harm to the people who get cheated on. It can even cause depression and extreme emotional distress. Possibly more. 2)  It puts the cheated-on spouse at risk of contracting an STD. This happened before. 3)  It destroys the family unit. The family unit is the backbone of society. Therefore infidelity also destroys societies. It breaks marriages, it desacralizes the marriage institution.

On the condition that adultery is defined by the fact you have another person inside your body is adultery. As in having another mans dick in your pussy or ass is cheating but stick your dick in another pussy is not. Men have needs women do not.

Just_Me89 · Answer

No, I couldn't care less who anyone choses to sleep with as long as they're a consenting adult. It's none of my business

LazyProphet · Answer

Absolutely not, adultery is a personal/family, morals matter, not a matter of the government to get involved in any way.

oncpl · Answer

Law cannot prohibit effectively anyone to refrain from adultery. It is indoor relation where both partners are usually safe.

EmotionOfFear · Answer

Yes, I think it'd add a lot more layers to relationships. And make people think twice before cheating.

Then don't get married, it's a symbol of Christianity anyway. You get married under God but 60% don't even believe

It needs to apply to everyone and the penalty needs to be severe, at least 20 years in prison.
