Adultery should be punished by whatever moral authority you cling to - ie if you're religious, let God punish, etc.
I think laws against adultery would be ridiculous - that's legislating morality, which is a tenuous and risky proposition.
However - here's a situation that might flip the script for some of you:
A partner cheats with another person, and is infected with, say, HIV or HBV - something with no real treatment available. This is then passed to the partner through marital intercourse - should the spouse have legal recourse in that sort of case?
It's an interesting thought - a sort of 'poisoning via sex'
