Adultery in Judaism

In Judaism, adultery is considered a serious offense and is condemned in the Ten Commandments. The commandment "You shall not commit adultery" is interpreted to mean that one should not engage in extramarital sexual relations or engage in sexual activity with someone who is married to someone else. Adultery is also considered a violation of the marriage vow, which states that a person should be loyal and faithful to their spouse. In traditional Judaism, adultery is a punishable offense and can lead to divorce. However, in modern Judaism, the approach to adultery is often more lenient, and efforts are often made to try to repair the relationship before resorting to divorce.
