Have their been any laws against adultery?

Yes, in some countries adultery is a crime. In Saudi Arabia, you can be stoned to death for committing adultery. In Anglo-Saxon England, a man was "allowed" to kill another man whom he caught in bed with his wife. Provided he did the killing within three days of finding out, the husband was not punished. When the Vikings ruled part of England, they introduced an additional law that an adulteress should have her nose cut off. So everyone could see at a glance which women in the community had been adulterous! There is no "law against" adultery in modern Britain. However, a person whose husband or wife commits adultery can get an instant divorce in the family courts. If the adulterer is the one who wants a divorce, he or she has to wait five years. So while adultery is not exactly illegal, modern law does seem to discourage it.
