Fornication is a term which refers to any sexual activity between unmarried partners. Sex between unmarried persons is distinguished from adultery by use of the term 'simple fornication'; whereas relations in which at least one of the parties is married, is considered 'adultery'.
The origin of the word derives from Latin. The word fornix means "an archway" or "vault" (in Rome, prostitutes could be solicited there). More directly, fornicatio means "of the archway"; thus a euphemism for prostitution.
Fornication is dealt with differently in various religions, societies and cultures

FORNICATION:
Voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to each other
Extramarital sex that wilfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations
Sexual behavior considered immoral: In the Bible, sexual intercourse between a man and woman who are not married, or any form of sexual behavior considered to be immoral
Fornication is the sin of any sexual activity between people who are not married. Adultery is the sin of any sexual activity between a married man and someone other than his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband. God has clearly indicated that sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful and can result in eternal damnation.
Revelation 21:8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the [marriage] bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
