The [[Torah]] forbids adultery most notably in the [[Ten Commandments]] - its punishment: death.
A supplemental note: this [[sin nature]], according to the [[Protestant]] and [[Catholic]] [[Bible]] is forgiven for all mankind, forever, via the death, burial, and [[resurrection]] of [[Jesus Christ]], predicated on belief in [[Him]] as the [[Son of God]], and willingness to [[repent]], or turn, from the [[sin nature]].
