• e-mail

Cheating on your spouse could land you behind 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s in New York 予定 to a １０年間s-old 法律 that could soon be 控訴，上告d by a new 法案.

明言する／公表する 立法機関 is 現在／一般に considering 廃止するing the 法律, on the grounds that it is outdated and rarely 施行するd - 13 people have been 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d and only five 罪人／有罪を宣告するd since 1972.

If 罪人／有罪を宣告するd, 違反者／犯罪者s are 適格の for three months in 刑務所，拘置所 and up to $500 罰金.?

On Monday, a 近づく-全員一致の 投票（する） by the New York 明言する／公表する 議会 moved the 廃止する 今後, 押し進めるing the 法案 to the 明言する／公表する?上院 for the final 判決. It is not yet on the 上院's calendar for a 投票（する） and discussion.

Cheating on your husband or wife is still 違法な in New York. If 設立する 有罪の, 違反者／犯罪者s 直面する up to 90 days in 刑務所，拘置所

'There are plenty of 法律s whose 目的 is 直接／まっすぐに to 保護する the community,' said Assemblyman Charles Lavine, the sponsor of the 法案 that would 廃止する the 法律.?

'On the other 手渡す, some 法律s 具体的に表現する nothing more than someone's idea of moral 乱暴／暴力を加える,' Lavine, a 民主党員 from Nassau 郡, told the Times Union.

This week he and his fellow 明言する／公表する 議会 members 投票（する）d to 公式に place the 姦通 法律 into the latter 部類, and consign it to the dustbin of history.?

Seventeen other US 明言する／公表するs, 同様に as the US 領土 of Puerto Rico, consider 姦通 a 犯罪の 罪／違反.

In Oklahoma, Michigan, and Wisconsin it is a 重罪.

It is a 軽罪 in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, and Puerto Rico

Under 現在の New York 法律, 姦通 is a Class B 軽罪.

The 法律 defines 姦通, too: 'A person is 有罪の of 姦通 when he engages in 性の intercourse?with another person at a time when he has a living spouse, or the other person has a living spouse.'

She appeared in 法廷，裁判所 手渡す-in-手渡す with her husband.

The 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金 was 結局 dropped, and she 罪を認める to public lewdness instead - also a Class B 軽罪.

But with the historic 投票（する）, 国会議員s have moved one step closer to 廃止するing the 法律, which lawyers have 歴史的に called a 政府 overreach and 違反 of privacy.

法律 施行 公式の／役人s have also argued that the 法律 土台を崩すs their 当局, because it is almost universally overlooked.?

This 法律, and other old ones like it that remain on the 調書をとる／予約するs, is a 遺物 of a different time in history.

When it was first 器具／実施するd, 支援する in 1907, 離婚 was not socially 許容できる in the 部隊d 明言する／公表するs.

The first person 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d under the 法律, married 鉄道／強行採決する 請負業者 Patrick Henry Hirsch, was 逮捕（する）d 10 days after it was 調印するd into 法律.

国会議員s are 押し進めるing for a 廃止する of the 姦通 法律, which they said is outdated and based on 'someone's idea of moral 乱暴／暴力を加える.'

On September 1, 1907, police 逮捕（する）d him and his mistress, a milliner 指名するd Ruby Yeargain, at his apartment.?

They were both 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d with 姦通 and held on $500 保釈（金）.

国会議員s and 合法的な historians tend to agree that the 姦通 法律 was put in place to discourage 離婚.

Lavine pointed out that since then, most people 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d under the 法律 have been women.?

'Because most of those 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d are women, it stigmatizes and victimizes women,' he told the New York 地位，任命する.?

It was brought up for 廃止する in 1967, but it never made it past the finish line.

Lavine said he 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑うs that 国会議員s nearly six １０年間s ago still felt 圧力 from the public that did not 認可する of 離婚, and they did not want to take a public stand that could be seen as a stamp of 是認 for infidelity.??

New York may be late to 廃止する the 姦通 法律, but it was also the first to 設立する a 法律 around 'alienation of affection.'

This civil 法令 enabled a person to 告訴する their spouse's paramour for 違反ing the 契約 of marriage - and collect 通貨の 損害賠償金.

調印するd into 法律 in 1864, the alienation of affection 法令 was copied by many US 明言する／公表するs.

New York 明言する／公表する 上院議員 Liz Krueger, seen here in 2017, is the sponsor for the 法案 in the 上院. Now that it has passed a 投票（する） in the 明言する／公表する 議会, it 直面するs discussion and a 投票（する） in the 明言する／公表する 上院.

Though it was 廃止するd in New York, this 法令 is still on the 調書をとる／予約するs in six 明言する／公表するs.

And where it 固執するs, it is used frequently in 離婚 解決／入植地s.

It is used 特に in 事例／患者s where a spouse is 合法的に 保護するd by a prenuptial 協定, because the 被告 in such a 訴訟 is not the spouse but the person they cheated with.

In North Carolina, for instance, an 概算の 200 alienation of affection 事例／患者s are とじ込み／提出するd each year. The 明言する／公表する 政府 has 繰り返して 拒絶する／低下するd to 廃止する the 法律.

類似して, 'alienation of affection' 法律s are still on the 調書をとる／予約するs in Hawaii, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Utah.

As for the New York 姦通 法律, the next step will be for the 明言する／公表する 上院 to discuss it before putting it to a 投票（する）.

If the 法案 is passed, the language of the 姦通 法律 will be erased from New York's lawbooks.?

Outdated 法律s like this one are often the butt of jokes, Lavine said, but for the 国会議員s 押し進めるing its 廃止する, 廃止するing an arcane and morally-slanted 法律 is very serious.?

'It's not funny for the women who have been 起訴するd,' Lavine said. 'While I certainly 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がる that some people might chuck le at the idea, there's nothing funny 伴う／関わるd in this at all.'?
