Hello, friends, community steemit. I was interested in what was killed earlier for adultery, and now, let's look at the modern world.
Today in many countries adultery is not surprising, since it is very common. People carelessly treat their promises, but there are countries in which relationships within the family are regulated by power. In some countries, for betrayal, you can pay a very high price.
Mali. Today in Mali there are many tribes, whose laws differ much from each other. For example, in the Dogon tribe it is accepted to deceive, but not with the husband's relatives.
In Switzerland, an adulterer can't register a new marriage during three years.
In Turkey since 1996 not only women but also men are punished for betrayal. They are punished by imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.
In Iran there is the law, according to which a woman who has committed betrayal, can be killed. And it can be done not only by her husband but also by his male relatives.
In Indonesia, for adultery you could be imprisoned for up to 15 years.
In Papua New Guinea there are the most terrible sanctions towards unfaithful men and women. A man can even decapitate his wife's lover. The woman isn't killed, but she is cut a finger, which has to be eaten by her lover.

Most countries have gone from having too severe punishment for betrayal. In medieval Russia the court punished by death for the adultery.
