Adultery

Adultery refers to a married person having a romantic or sexual relationship with someone outside their marriage without their partner's consent. It is often considered a betrayal of the marital commitment and can have legal, emotional, and social consequences. Different cultures and legal systems vary in how they define and address adultery, but generally, it involves engaging in intimate activities with someone other than one's spouse while being married. Adultery can impact trust and the stability of a marriage and is sometimes used as grounds for divorce.
