No. Adultery laws were removed in Indiana in 1976. There are no penalties that the state can impose. prohibited by the statute here involved (although sometimes inaccurately referred to as "adultery" and
"fornication") are cohabiting with another in a state of adultery or fornication…. The design of this
law is not to affix a penalty for the violation of the Seventh Commandment, but to punish those who,
without lawful marriage, live together in the manner of husband and wife." (Warner v. State, 202 Ind.
479, 483 [1931]). Occasional, or even frequent acts of adultery were not criminal by themselves;
"cohabitation" was an essential element of the crime.
