"Repeal of 1907 New York Law Criminalizing Spousal Cheating Considered"

New York's 1907 law criminalizing adultery may soon be repealed, as a bill to do so is making its way through the state's legislature. The law, rarely enforced and punishable by up to three months in jail, has been criticized as outdated and intrusive. Supporters argue that it's time to remove a law that is never enforced and shouldn't dictate the private lives of consenting adults. The repeal bill has already passed the Assembly and is expected to pass the Senate before reaching the governor's desk for approval.
