Adultery (as referred to in the Bible) is sexual intercourse between a married woman and a man other than her husband (compare fornication). The Bible forbids adultery in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:14). Legal definitions may vary.
Adultery may ruin trust between husband and wife and break up families. It is contrary to the traditional marriage pronouncement derived from Matthew 19:6: "Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
