WHAT DOES UNFAITHFULNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Adultery

Adultery is extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social, religious, moral or legal grounds. What sexual activities constitute adultery vary widely, as do the religious and legal consequences of such acts. The concept exists in many societies, though the definition and consequences vary, but the concept is similar in Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Historically, many cultures have considered adultery a very serious matter. Adultery often incurred severe punishment, usually for the woman and sometimes for the man, with penalties including the death penalty, mutilation or torture. Such punishments have gradually fallen into disfavor, especially from the 19th century onwards. In most Western countries, adultery is no longer a criminal offense. Nevertheless, even in jurisdictions where adultery is not a criminal offense, it may still have legal consequences, particularly in divorce cases. For example, where there is fault-based family law, it almost always constitutes grounds for divorce; depending on jurisdiction, it may be a factor to consider in a property settlement, the custody of children, the denial of alimony etc.
