if it was I would be fine with it......it involves a third individual unaware that his/her contract is being breached.
precisely, if all parties are aware then it becomes part of "Sambhog charam sukh"....:winky: problem starts when one is not aware and thus feels cheated for being "honest' in his/her perception.

Was the third individual's contract breached or not? If yes, then it's criminal. Why didn't the individual inform the other party concerned that he/she was expressing his/her freedom to choose a different sexual partner. I have nothing against people choosing different sexual partners....I have a problem with the fact that it was hidden and violated an agreement.

is it a contractual agreement? If so, is there a written contract? In most cases where contractual agreement is violated, there is a written contract, the court can look at. Are T&C - terms and cond - part of the contract?

Not true, even verbal agreements are valid in court.

Isn't breach of any contract criminal?
Yes, but in all contracts: 1. Both parties are bound by the agreement. In this case law makes only the male bound by it. 2. In case of a breach, only the other party can sue. No one else. In this case, just about anyone can complain. 3. The state has no role unless one of the parties lodges a complain. In this case, the state can act on its own. 4. If party A breaks a rule, the party B knows it and still carries on with the contract, its automatically assumed that party B has approved the act of party A and hence A's conduct becomes permissible and a part of the contract. Not so in this case. If a wife is aware of her husbands adultery and carries on with the marriage, adultery does not by default become the husband's right. He can still be sued years later. 5. If one party is doing a crime against the state in performing the contract (or against it) without the knowledge of the other party, the contract becomes null and void from the day of the act at the will of the other parties. That ways the moment a husband commits adultery, the marriage becomes null and void since adultery is a crime against the state (since the state can act on its own, its a crime against the state). There are thousand things that are contradictory here to the normal laws applied to contracts. So it has to be viewed separately. Thats why divorce courts are different from the ones that deal with mercantile law.

^ Please read all my posts above......I support making it criminal for both parties not the current law and I have clearly said that known adultery should not be illegal...that's mutual consent and not a breach of contract. That answers points 1 and 4. Regarding your point number 2...that's not always the case. Even if my union signed on a contract which is being breached and I am it's member I can file a case without the support or approval of the union. Regarding points 3 and 5, the contract in the case of a marriage is a state approved contract so yes, the state does have the rights to intervene in any breach of it because it has given an approval for it.

I thought marriage was a legal thing. So because you're breaking that thing by having an affair, it is breaking of the legal document that said you are married to the woman. I don't know. I think it should be criminal. But then its a subjective thing - those people who've experienced such bitter situations in their lives will have a different viewpoint I guess.

:giggle: Are you that ignorant? Mere bhai, Bharat mahan has seperate LAWS for our beloved Islamic birathers so that they can practice their own Shariah from little green book right in the middle of India. and then there is this whole MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW BOARD with full backing of "Sikoolar" Kaangress party and Communists who make sure that this discriminatory panel exists and EQUAL law for all remains a dream in India. BJP has been shouting from top of their lung to bring "Uniform Civil Code" i.e. EQUAL law for ALL same like USA has.....but ohhh well, they are "Hindutva" extremists.:hatsoff:
so you did come out of your hiding hole after all... separate laws still means that the practice is not illegal. it should be illegal universally. and if indeed the BJP has been shouting from the top of their lung (actually it should be shouting at the top of their lungs, or shouting from rooftops), then what prevented them last time they were in power?

it is a criminal act..as shwethab pointed out extra marital relationships is usually sleeping around without the knowledge of your spouse..so that is basically breaking the rules of marriage, faith and trust..as long as one party feels that they have been cheated then the other one shd be punished..it should hold for both men and women..
