    Is there any law to sue a woman who slept with someone's husband in Australia?
    To: Whom it may concern

    I would like to know is there any law to judge someone guilty when she slept with someone's husband in Australia?

    Thank you
    Best Regards,

    I know of no law in any western country that makes adultery a criminal offense.

    The US is one of those Countries - Adultery is, in fact, a crime in several States including NY, Virginia, Massachusetts.

    I don't know if it's ever prosecuted (except for high profile cases) but it is a crime, at least on the books.

    It is not a criminal act in Australia.
