Why should our law be involved in imposing penalties for adultery?

Marriage is a contract. The law has always had a role in enforcing contracts and determining claims involving breach of contract. I will toss the question back at you. Why should the marital contract deserve less protection than any other contract?

Yes indeed, but how & why is a sexual breach to be enforced by divisions of property? Who gave the state the power to assign sexual fault?

It benefits all parties to settle such contracts peacebly without finding fault. No fault divorce works.

Keeping government out of our bedrooms also works.
