Abstract
Trust, mutual respect and legitimate expectations are the basis of a spousal relationship. Sex outside the marriage is the breach of that trust. It is a matrimonial offence. Although every religion condemns adultery, yet marital infidelity has become a common occurrence in modern society. In some countries, it is a criminal offence too. The offence of adultery is generally committed along with some other criminal acts. This paper studies how the offence of adultery as a cause is linked with various other crimes transpiring in society. Further, an attempt is also made to suggest certain corrective measures to control adultery and the related offences.
