wikipedia said:Adultery in the United States
Alfred Kinsey has found in his studies that 50% of males and 26% of females had extramarital sex at least once during their lifetime. Depending on studies, it was estimated that 26-50% of men and 21-38% women, or 22.7% of men and 11.6% of women had extramarital sex. Other authors say that between 20% and 25% Americans had sex with someone other than their spouse. However, one survey that measured the prevalence of adultery in the 12 months prior to the study showed rates of extramarital sex as low as 2.5%. The results suggest that while 15-25% of ever married Americans have had extramarital sex at least once in their lifetime, extramarital sex occurred infrequently in any one year.
No.Should adultery be a criminal offense punishable by jailtime?
Adultery is one of the worst thing one human can do to another, but is not a punishable crime in the west, and normally not around the world either. Adultery is described in the bible as one of the very worst sins, yet we have not practiced this in the west for at least several centuries or even millenniums. Why should it not be illegal?
Would you prefer your wife cheated on your or that your car was stolen(then aid back by insurance)?
In comparison, people who use or carry drugs in the US can get jail time of between 1-25 years for relatively small amounts, even Cannabis.
It's the violation of the terms of a contract and so there should be punishment just as there is punishment for violations of other contracts.

Did you include a penalty clause in your wedding vows? If not, how are you going to determine the damages? Specific performance? :lol:
No thank you. However, you could entertain me by explaining yourself.
Well your suggesting the state should get involed in personel relations
No brainer. New bitches are free, but new cars cost money.
The role of the state is to be a neutral adjudicator of contract disputes. Marriage is a contract between a husband and wife. If one of them violates the terms of the contract, then some entity should have authority to compel redress.
Libertarianism is not anarchy.

The problem is determining what the redress should be. Also, there's that little public policy issue.
How romantic.
