I think you mean unlawful, which isn't the same as illegal. Don't ask why though.

It's illegal but not a criminal offence.
Also, I think men can commit adultery with other men, I think it's the act of penetration that defines it.
So non penetrative sex is not adultery.
Wasn't that Bill Clinton's get out jail card?

I think so, slippery devil.
Still isn't clear what he did with his cigar though.

[QUOTE 3861656, member: 259"]I'm sure the English divorce laws are archaic, but adultery being grounds for divorce isn't particularly archaic is it? I would have called it a fair cop myself. 
[/QUOTE]
It's the whole concept of "grounds" and "blame" are archaic. If a marriage is over, it's over.

Edit: Who knows what the courts would do with transgendered adultery.

I can't find any law against it. What makes you think it's illegal?
No, that's definitely not right. It's opposite sex that's the requirement.

Is transgender recognised in law? I guess you're dealt with as the sex you're assigned on your birth certificate if not.

Don't worry about it - she thinks you're an ugly fecker.

Well, as the birth certificate is changed, yes you are.
Still could get complicated if the birth certificate was changed between the time the adultery occurred and the case comes to court.
But really, this should be irrelevant. Again, the marriage is over, why drag multiple people's personal lives through the court?

An at fault divorce doesn't necessarily get dragged through the courts in the way you imply. If both parties agree it can be rubber stamped in the same way a no fault divorce is.
Perhaps it's important for those involved to go through the process? Ritual is very important on many different aspects of life - birth, marriage, death. divorce has a massive impact on family life, why should it slip away unnoticed and without a true reflection of what happened?
I had an at fault divorce. It was of great significance to me that the actual reasons for the end of my marriage were reflected. Irreconcilable differences didn't cut it and would have been dishonest.

Correction: Apparently a lot of the female profiles were created by the website. Estimates are it's more like 90-95% male.
