I did not mean that it's antiquated because "everyone is doing it." I'm not that shallow. What I mean is that it is a law that was made before separation of church and state. It is a law founded on morals dictated by religion and should, therefore, not be an enforceable law. Although I don't morally feel that adultery is OK I do feel that adultery is not something that can be lawfully wrong.
