Personally, I feel it should be criminalized to some degree. Marital infidelity, especially in cases of sexual addiction, is no worse than drug abuse. It is a totally selfish act which is destructive to partners and to children and entire families both immediate and extended. It can even go so far as to cause loss of life through contraction of diseases or crimes of passion when the infidelity goes too far. I also firmly believe that criminalizing the act will go a long ways to cementing a marital bond. A spouse will be far less likely to commit adultery if they know they could lose custody of their kids, do possible jail time or financial penalties for cheating. A person who is the type with a tendancy to sleep around would also think hard before marrying, just as everyone should anyway. I think society could only benefit from criminal treatment of the unfaithful spouse. What is your opinion?
Someone said You can’t punish someone for falling out of love with their spouse. That spouse hwo feel out of love should get divorced then, prior to comitting adultery and destroying the lives of others, don’t you think?
It shouldn’t be criminal to have a cheating heart, but should be for actual cheating. You cannot give you spouse AIDS from having a cheating heart!
