Talk:Extramarital sex

message: From the looks of it, only the Abrahamic religions care about extramarital sex.  Maybe I will get around to contributing here sometime when I know more on the topic, but in the meantime I would appreciate it if someone could expand this article to cover some perspectives of other religious groups.

thread_title: Accuracy

message: Well, I think the articles about Fornication, Zina (Arabic) and Extra-marital relations have so much in common content that they could be merged into this article.--MaGioZal 00:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Strong support See Talk:Fornication and Talk:Premarital sex for previous discussions and votes on similar merge proposals.  Kasreyn 04:48, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Extra-marital relations is now a redirect (it was redundant to begin with, and as written was Islam-centric); anything worthy of salvage can be placed here. Fornication and Premarital sex might be mergeworthy, though they are subsets of extramarital sex and are therefore separate subjects. Zina (Arabic), I would argue, appears to be a specific sharia legal concept and likely deserves a separate article simply because it assumes a certain context separate from the general idea of extramarital sex; they cover the same acts, but the Arabic word seems to have a specific connotation that does not exist outside Islamic jurisprudence.

replies: text: I think the Zina (Arabic) article could be merged into as a specific separated section of the article.--MaGioZal 06:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Zina (Arabic) is an article about the Islamic jurisprudence of the topic, the article needs to be there. And the title name seems appropriate. However, a article summary could be inserted in this article. Oh, wait, it already does. --Striver 13:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Another merge suggestion

message: IMHO, this article should be merged with adultery. It is almost exactly the same thing (with different information, but the same topic), and, in fact, extramarital intercourse (which is the exact same thing as "extramarital sex") redirects to it. Any thoughts? --Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 05:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. Adultery is a moral-religious term, while extramarital sex is a neutral term, which lends itself to an analysis of the incidence and consequences of such relations, without a moral aspect.Ewawer (talk) 10:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is overlap with all the usual suspects incl infidelity and adultery. However, I disagree with a merge for similar reasons to those who oppose other merge suggestions above. It is an operationally neutral term and includes non-married partners. I have been editing the article to improve it.--Ziji  (talk email) 07:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another merge suggestion 

message: I have noticed that the "adultery" article has a large overlap with this article - both articles refer to exactly the same subject from religious and legal perspectives, using different terminology. I think "adultery" is a more of a loaded word (with negative connotations) than "extramarital sex", so it would be best to merge the former into the latter (and not vice-versa). Jarble (talk) 17:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe they should be merged; they are not the same topic: "extramarital sex" simply refers to the act of a married person having sex with someone other than their spouse; "adultery" is about the religious and legal concept. I think two different articles are acceptable; but this article focuses too much on religious views which belong in the adultery article not in this one. Maybe this article should contain other things, such as prevalence of extramarital sex, studies done on extramarital sex, context in which extramarital sex occurs etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:2F01:1059:F001:0:0:BC19:AB7D (talk) 13:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge "[[adultery]]" into this article

message: The OED defines 'extramarital' as 'outside marriage', the way in which I have always understood the term would include ALL sexual activity outside marriage (ie inc 2 single people). The definition used here equates to 'adultery'. Pincrete (talk) 17:57, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I would recommend a re-wording of this paragraph. It almost seems that this section is an opinion rather than stating facts. Although there is accurate use of the bible, it is recommended not to quote primary sources as your main source of information. If we could find another source that is more scholarly that shares the same facts, it may be more convincing. Also changing the words from "extramarital sex has historically been considered to be one of the more serious and damaging sins, possibly because of passages like 1 Corinthians 6:18 that speak of it as sinning against one's own body." to "historically, extramarital sex has been condemned by the Christian church due to being considered a sin."
