Bill Summary
Adultery crime repealed.
AI Summary
This bill repeals the Minnesota law that criminalizes adultery. The repealed law previously made adultery, defined as a married woman having sexual intercourse with a man other than her husband, a punishable offense with up to one year in prison or a fine of up to $3,000. The law could only be prosecuted upon complaint of the spouse, except when the spouse lacked mental capacity, and had a one-year statute of limitations. The repeal of this law means adultery will no longer be a crime in Minnesota.
