Despite declining prohibitions on sexual relationships, Americans are nearly unanimous in condemning marital infidelity. Deborah Rhode explores why. She exposes the harms that criminalizing adultery inflictsÑincluding civil lawsuits, job termination, and loss of child custodyÑand makes a case for repealing laws against adultery and polygamy.
