Adultery has become a very prominent problem in today¡¯s society. It¡¯s spreading faster than many people could imagine and is almost uncontainable. In this paper we will examine the various issues surrounding adultery such as: history, the media, religion and how adultery can actually be prevented from the beginning. Adultery is a sexual relationship in which a man or women has with another partner rather than his/her own spouse. Adultery is seen as a great sin in the society. Adultery maliciously interferes with marriage relations, and sometimes opens the door to divorce.

             A while back in history adultery as considered as serious as a ¡°crime¡± as murder is considered today. Those people who were caught in extra-martial affairs were either shunned from their communities or were subjected to massive humiliation. These steps were taken to frighten those people who would be prone to committing acts of adultery. Adultery was something that ¡°lower class¡± people would be involved in because it was such a dirty thing. We have gone from adultery being the worse thing a person could do to it now being something that¡¯s considered common amongst everyone. Why people commit adultery can sometimes still be a blunder. Some people think it¡¯s because the person isn¡¯t receiving all his requirements at home, and others think it¡¯s a sick habit.
