Should there be some sort of punishment?

Question

Maybe not a punishment in the sense, but some kind of consequences for carrying on an affair with someone elses spouse?
I personally think there should be some kind of fine involved. It is kind of like stealing someone's property... for some maybe even there liveliness. If a person knows, has been told or is very well aware that the person they are dating/screweing whatever has a spouse or significant other... why should they get off without a care in the world, going about their business as if they've done nothing wrong?
Just curious to see if anyone else has so much free time on their hands that they sit around thinking about stuff like this:-)

JD, there used to be such a thing although its wasnt jail time or monetary fines it was public ridicule it was being scorned by people who knew the person. unforntunatly people think marriage is a joke and can be trashed upon. you hear people promoting it from every angle" its ok to look just not touch" "open marriage""married not dead" the best way we can retaliate against the likes of people having affairs is to really get to know who you are with and learn their values and find out if their word really means as much when it hurts, to stop overlooking all the red flags and imaturities in people. if more people took responsibilty for themselves and their own judgments they would be less likely to blame their cheating spouses, and reflect on themselves the next time they make a choice in a future relationship. as far as somone being stolen and a penalty. one can never be stolen unless they are owned by another and marrige isnt ownership...

I could possibly be wrong.. but I think in Ohio, where I live.. homewrecking is a crime.. I don't know...

There's the big loophole there though.. I know plenty of married men who carry on affairs and never tell their sex partner that they are married in the first place.. So if you don't know your partner is married... then how can you be totally guilty?

Or the men (ok I'll leave guys alone, woman too) who tell someone that they are in the process of divorce, or they left their husband/wife and they didn't...

I think in any instance.. if you truly think about it.. it's not just the person who had an affair with the married person.. but the married person is just as much as fault as the person they are having a relationship with.. So are they truly "stealing" someone elses property... or just taking turns sharing it?

I do agree with you..There should be some sort of punishment.. but what's appropriate.. and how would you be able to prove that a person did/didn't know if the partner was married?

not lower back! As earlier - sine as much as approximately 18-19% of prisoners in the U. S. are 'wrongfully convicted' - you stand a just about a million:5 hazard, if convicted of rape - of being an harmless guy. So - wanna provide it a bypass? Wanna be that a million:5 in penitentiary waiting for castration - and understand you're harmless? as quickly as lower back (and that i actually will deliver mutually a number of those issues whilst i've got have been given the time and skill faraway from saving the universe for you all) everybody is despatched to penitentiary AS punishment - not FOR punishment, and civilised regulation provides that there would be purely one punishment for one crime. in case you bypass around committing crimes against humanity via imposing draconian sentences which includes de-stoning (ratchets eyebrows) you're as super a criminal - if not worse - as a rapist. i might advise that a reformatory term is adequate. there is not any lifeless sufferer - hence existence is out of the question. you apart from mght would desire to look very heavily on the circumstances surrounding the 'rape' - you purely can't place all circumstances in the only basket - and you - the asker here - are committing the cardinal sin of putting all circumstances in precisely a similar class as violent penetrating rape under duress. you're hence falling into the semantic capture for the unknowledgeable that pretend Feminism has set for you. it is why we've regulation., in concept a minimum of.

personally if i caught my "other" cheating he'd be a hurting anyway........and worse if who hes with knows hes married..they both better go into hiding and never come out.,"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".and honey thats the truth.some people just have no concience and dont care who they hurt but im a firm believer that"what goes around comes around" so sooner or later they get their dues>and ya know in some states you can sue the other person for "alienation of affection"....(.stealing someones love from you).look up your laws

Answer 5

I've heard that you can sue someone for stealing your husband. If He is your soul support,and you did nothing to contribute to your husband leaving you.That is beyond allimony. So in a sense there is a fine. A big one.

Answer 6

I think the possibility of the punishment in their afterlife is good enough.

Answer 7

Any person that does that to his or her spouse be it male or female is dead already! You coud'nt possibly do anything or say anything to hurt them that they haven;t already done to themselves.
