If someone commits adultery on their souse, and their spouse commits suicide over it, what should the punishment be for the aduleror or adulteress?

If it's proven in a court of law that someone committed adultery, what should the punishment be? It boggles my mind how ppl think adultery should fall under the list of things the government grants as freedom. It's illegal to refuse to bake a cake for gays, but legal to betray the one you love most? It's illegal to litter on the streets but not commit adultery on your one true love? It's illegal for police stations to torture serial killers to get information but legal to cheat on the one you love the most? In the ninja world, those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon even one of their comrades is worse than scum; your spouse is your comrade number one.

Now, for all the nitpickers who will not comment on the heart of the question, I know the laws I mentioned are not universal, and some places don't make those things illegal. I also know adultery is technically illegal in some places, however, those laws are not enforced.

Yeah cheating is shitty but no one is required to have the same morals.

@AgapeLove Cheating does not directly inflict bodily harm on the spouse unless they were given some kind of sexually transmitted infection/disease. Then it would be a crime, but only then. The crimes you mentioned have a direct offender and victim with clear paths to supporting evidence. How do you classify things like love and romance?

@AgapeLove People have different expectations for what a relationship should be and people have a right to those beliefs. No one has the right to possess another, no one can tell me who I'm allowed to have sex with, even if I did make a commitment to someone else. Only I have the power to choose what happens with my body.

If you found out your partner was cheating, you have the right to remove yourself from their life. But you cannot condemn them or imprison them for betraying their commitment to you.

Pain is part of life and love. It's the natural course, no matter how much it sucks... Learning to let go is a huge part of life.
