Best Answer

Yes. There are many old laws that have yet to be taken off the books, and this seems to be one of them. According to the Illinois Criminal Code, Subdivision 25, Section 11-35 (formerly 720 ILCS 5/11-7), having sexual intercourse with someone who is not your spouse is illegal; it is considered a misdemeanor. It should be noted that such laws are rarely enforced, but they are still considered laws.
