It's legal, but not recommended, especially when you are married. If your spouse has an evidence of betrayal commited by you, he/she can with the consent of the office do everything (literally) with you and your lover/mistress.

Adultery isn't illegal, but it is seen as morally wrong, might be grounds for divorce, and you might be shunned by your friends if you commit it. It also isn't very common in Voxija, or maybe they just don't get caught...

Adultery is a broader term but most sins of adultery are illegal per Terabithyan law. Pornography, extramarital sexual intercourse and homosexual acts are illegal. Divorce is impossible, except if the Pope annulled a marriage.

In theory adultery is socially frowned upon and might be prosecuted by most existing legal institutions as contract violation.

In practice activities such as bigamy, concubinage, etc. is not uncommon among the wealthier segments of the population and upper-class individuals might have multiple mistresses alongside their legal spouses. This is generally considered legal as long as it does not violate the marital contract, which sometimes omits the obligation of monogamy.

Is it illegal?

If it's illegal, what are the penalties for it?

In Jolthig, the government allows adultery and does not get involved with the affairs of personal relationships as the government sees adultery as unimportant to the affairs of the nation.



It's not illegal. So it was depenalised long ago. The Government doesn't get involved in personal affairs.
Adultery, can end in costly divorce.

In Ruritane, adultery is the standard. It is seen as weird if no one you know partakes in it. In fact, in many cases the spouse being cheated upon knows about it and is okay with it! Imagine!

Adultery is not a criminal offence in New Great Britain, but it is a civil wrong (tort), according to which the wronged partner in a marriage can bring their spouse's lover to court for a tort known as "criminal conversation". It is also legitimate grounds for divorce.

Originally, only husbands could take their wives' lovers to court for criminal conversation, however, under the provisions of the Criminal Conversation Act, the scope of the tort was expanded to provide women whose husbands are unfaithful some recourse to a legal remedy that did not amount to divorce.

Society in general has a negative attitude towards adultery. Though it does occur, as human nature is wont, widespread public knowledge of adulteries tends to result in scandal.

It's legal, the government doesn't stick their hands in people's love lives. Since people are talking about divorce laws, I'll note that anyone can get a divorce in Alyni for any reason and while marriage does exist, it's uncommon.

Adultery is socially badly regarded. It's not a legally punished. But for common macho attitudes no one would like to be seen as a cuckold. But having mistresses is well regarded as being a winner.

Adultery is illegal and grounds for Social Credit Score decrease as well as a hefty fine or even a year of imprisonment. However, the law is not really enforced strictly. No reason is required for divorce, with or without adultery.

Legal. Hypercapital is rather progressive when it comes to social issues, and also seeing this as another way to keep the birth of Hypercapitalians stable. (the birthrate's high, there's alot of resources, and the govt's trying to keep it high)
