To the ancient Jews, adultery really meant sex with a married woman, whereas a married man (or of course a single man) was free to have sex with an unmarried woman. These laws were necessary to protect patrimony, since a man needed to know that the children hewas rearing and who would inherit his property were really his own. We see many examples where concubines were looked on favourably by the Old Testament writers. Christianity gradually treated all sex outside a monogamous marriage as sinful, but bishops and kings seem to have been able to ignore this.
