How is it totally legal to commit adultery in the western world?

I'm not saying we should stone men or women to death like in the middle East or West Africa... but to have it toally legal with no consequences to me is insane. This is something that can cause suicide and causes massive suffering.

It is not that easy. Marriage is a contract. Often when one of the spouses commits adultery, it is because the other has neglected other obligations.

It is not the law, but society who should act against those who commit adultery only for the sake of 'fun' or 'change' by cutting relationships with them, treating them as irresponsible children who do not belong in an adult society.

@AgapeLove The law judges actions, not intentions, and intentions and motivations mean a lot when it comes to adultery.

@AgapeLove No. As I said, the punishment should be social.

@AgapeLove Being socially ostracized can be very hard
