Should adultery be criminalized as a sexual offense? - Sexual Assault + Theft = 100% Legal?

It's a criminal offense in the US military. It falls under UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) Article 134 which covers a wide range of actions unbecoming of a service member.

This.

It should be added that adultery (like faggotry back in the good old days of Don't Ask Don't Tell) is almost never actually prosecuted. The military isn't stupid; it knows that most people have committed adultery at least once in their lives, and if every adulterer was charged with a crime, there'd be nobody left to fight Obama's wars. As such, people usually only get charged with adultery if 1) they're shitbirds, 2) they've been caught doing something more serious, and 3) the prosecution really wants to tighten the screws. It's not some big, scary, totalitarian law that makes everyone feel like they're living in China (or worse, living according to God's divine commandments!). It's a nice, optional, beat-the-criminal-for-free card that gives law enforcement officers the flexibility they need to keep us safe.

The system works perfectly and we should criminalize adultery everywhere.

No, not as long as everyone is an adult anyway. Move to an islamic shithole if you want the government to micromanage people's sex lives.

Every government "micromanages people's sex lives". Whether it's affording special rights to sexual minorities, banning sex acts and pornography deemed problematic, or forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for the murder of unwanted children, the concept of government involvement in sex is not unique to Islamic nations; it's universal.

In fact, with the exception of Islamic states, virtually every government bans polygamy - and what is polygamy, except adultery, minus the fraud and theft?

If consensual adultery is a criminal offense in every civilized nation, then I see no reason why fraudulent, non-consensual adultery should be tolerated.

What country forces taxpayers to pay for actual child murder, because I'm pretty sure murdering actual children is a crime in every country on Earth (not that some places won't turn a blind eye to it like China or India).

And you're right, lots of places do ban polygamy. Laws against polygamy are retarded too as long as everyone is a consenting adults (polygamy, especially when weird religious fringe groups do it, does have an unfortunate history of not exclusively involving consenting adults).

Against, move to Saudi Arabia or something if you want the government to punish women for cucking you.

Adultery should be a Civil issue, and cuckoldry should involve consent forms.
 
Necropost, but wow I actually completely agree with OP. Adultery is genuinely disgusting and I also agree with the concept of it being classified as a form of sexual assault. You're traumatizing someone sexually without their consent. Morally, how is that better than any other form of sexual abuse?

Illegal no. It should be much more socially frowned upon though.
We are in a society that has got rid of a lot of the taboos and shame based ‘brakes’ on bad behaviour. Some things they’ve tried to make criminal offences but unless it’s socially ‘shameful’ it doesn’t work.
When I was a kid, dropping litter would get you a clip round the ear from anyone who saw it. Now fly tipping is illegal and you can be fined for litter but the whole country is filthy.
There’s no good legislating these things, and in the case of adultery it’s probably do more harm than good. We need to unfuck society to the point where people respect marriage more. You can’t do that via law.
The recent uk laws on staring on public transport are another example. It’s stupid to make a law about it. In a functional society you’d get the shit beaten out of you for groping someone’s missus.
We can’t fix society woth laws

But shaming is bad, m'kay.
you should never feel shameful about anything
like murder....wait a minute
 
You'd need to change so many laws to make it so I don't see how its practical.

What I do think you can do is make adultery an immediate reason to lose everything but you're shirt in a divorce.
 
I don't think it should be illegal outright. I do think it should make for an automatic disqualification for any spousal support, child custody, or splitting of assets in case of a divorce. So basically if someone cheats, they should be absolutely fucked in the divorce.
 
POV: You need the government to manage your relationships

Adultery is shitty and immoral but it really doesn't need to be illegal.
 
Not Every Good Idea Makes a Good Law.

Especially applies here.

This. We need to bring back shaming and standards. You can't legislate that shit away.
 
Adultery is a sin because it's lust. It incentivizes sex addiction and abortion. Because of this, it took such a toll on our fertility rate. Canada has a fertility rate well below the replacement level and instead of making laws banning adultery, they import immigrants from third world countries. But even immigrant don't like Canada because of how much of a hellhole Canada is. Incentivizing adultery leads to collapses of civilization. So if anything. Yes. It should be considered a sexual offense.
