No it should be dealt with by the couple involved.

@limefairy: how about the children?How do they deal with it? And is adultery a private thing only?

@Dreammmer: It will only hurt the children no matter what their age. If is was discreet and quiet there is no need to turn it into a public spectacle. If it's something everybody knows about the offending spouse has to live with their public disgrace and the hurt caused to their spouse and children.

@limefairy: The children will be hurt and are hurt anyway. My question was how do they deal with it since they also are involved. And in my opinion they often are not able to deal with it. No one speaks of a public spectacle, I dont know where you got that idea from. When you get a fine for speeding, there is no public spectacle either. You dont know how many times your neighbor was fined by the law for committing an offense.
