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'
One can say the same when one's loved one is murdered and the murderer is put to death due to capital punishment...

Either way, and ultimately, the person who is suffering must deal with it, one way or another...
