single adultery

Read a random definition: Revocation of Will by Act

A quick definition of single adultery:

Single adultery is when a married person has sex with someone who is not their spouse. It is usually not against the law, but it can be a reason for divorce. In the past, judges would use adultery as a reason to take away custody of children, but now they only consider how it affects the child. Single adultery is different from double adultery, which is when both people involved are married to other people, and incestuous adultery, which is when the people involved are closely related.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Single adultery is voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than their spouse.

For example, if a married man has sexual relations with a woman who is not his wife, it is considered single adultery. This is different from double adultery, which is when both parties involved are married to other people.

In some states, adultery is a crime, but it is rarely prosecuted. However, proof of adultery can be used as a ground for divorce or to reduce the offending spouse's marital-property award in a property division. Judges may also consider adultery when deciding child custody, but only if it has a negative impact on the child.

Overall, single adultery is a violation of the commitment made in marriage and can have legal and personal consequences.
