ADUL'TERY, n. L. adulterium. See Adulterate.

A crime or civil injury that introduces, or may introduce, a phony offspring into a family is a violation of the marriage bed.

According to Connecticut law, any man who engages in sexual activity with a married woman is guilty of adultery in both cases. However, if a married man engages in sexual activity with an unmarried woman, it is fornication in both cases and adultery of the man in terms of the law pertaining to divorce. Only the ecclesiastical courts in England have jurisdiction over this latter violation. 
Adultery is the term used to describe any married individual who is unfaithful in the marital bed.
