Bill Summary
Crime of adultery repeal
AI Summary
This bill repeals the Minnesota statute that makes adultery a crime. The existing law made it a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $3,000 for a married woman to have sexual intercourse with a man other than her husband, regardless of the man's marital status. This bill removes that criminal provision, effectively decriminalizing adultery in Minnesota.
