"Art. 334. Concubinage. - Any husband who shall keep a mistress in the conjugal dwelling, or shall have sexual intercourse, under scandalous circumstances, with a woman who is not his wife, or shall cohabit with her in any other place, shall be punished by prision correccional in its minimum and medium periods.

The concubine shall suffer the penalty of destierro."

Based on the aforementioned law, a husband who shall be found guilty of violating the same shall be imprisoned for a minimum period of 6 months and 1 day to 2 years and 4 months and to a maximum period of 2 years and 1 day to 4 years and 2 months.

However, the mistress or the concubine shall not suffer the penalty of imprisonment but that of destierro. The said penalty is defined under Article 87 of the Revised Code of the Philippines as follows:

"Art. 87. Destierro. - Any person sentenced to destierro shall not be permitted to enter the place or places designated in the sentence, nor within the radius therein specified, which shall be not more than 250 and not less than 25 kilometers from the place designated."
