Navigating Adultery Laws in Kansas: Trustworthy Criminal Defense Attorneys by Your Side

Adultery is defined as engaging in sexual intercourse or sodomy with a person who is not married to the offender if:

  1. The offender is married, or
  2. the offender is not married and knows that the other person involved in the act is married.

Kansas adultery law says it is illegal to have sex or do certain sexual activities if one of the people is married to someone else.

Some people think this law is not fair because it goes against people's right to privacy. But, Adultery is only about whether it is legal or not, not about whether it is right or wrong to cheat on a spouse. That is a question of ethics not control by the government.

Lawrence v. Texas

In 2003, the United States Supreme Court made a decision in Lawrence v. Texas about a law in Texas that said it was illegal for two adults to do certain sexual activities together. The Supreme Court said that the state cannot make rules about what adults do in private because adults have a right to privacy and liberty. The law in Texas was also not fair because it only applied to some people and not others. This decision can be used to help decide other cases where adults are consenting to have sex.

Penalty for Adultery

Adultery is a class C misdemeanor punishable by at most, one month in jail and a $500 fine.
