Is adultry wrong

Answer 1

Right and wrong depends on who the judge is.

Do you and your partner have an agreement that it is ok to cheat? You do? Then for you and your partner, no, it may not be wrong.

But even so, people outside of your relationship may not agree. What if "the other person" also has a partner who does not know about and/or approve of the activity? Then to them it may be wrong.

And then there are people who are not connected to the action at all but who may judge you for your actions. For example, some conservative religious groups believe that any kind of sexual activity outside of marriage is a sin. To them, it would clearly be wrong, too.

Finally, what about children? Do you already have kids with your partner? Is there a chance of getting someone else pregnant? What would you say to them if they found out?

Answer 2

Although adultery may be viewed differently by different cultures, it is generally judged to be wrong. Adultery is extra-marital sex. Adultery is illegal in many countries and is considered a serious offense in most cultures. The consequences are serious ranging from an unplanned pregnancy that affects more than the parties to the adultery, and possible health consequences for their partners. A spouse has the right to expect sexual fidelity within a legal marriage.

In the Western world adultery provides grounds for divorce and can be considered in divorce settlements. It can affect the legal status of children. In the Middle East the legal consequences are especially severe, especially for women.
