I don't understand. It's not a crime. It's one of the few 10 commandments that has been taken off the statute books as a crime. It has remained as legal grounds for divorce in those countries that allow divorce but only on the basis of some sort of justification. But it's not a crime. The only countries that make it a crime actually only make it a crime for a woman to commit adultery.

If castration were to be a punishment for repeat adultery then what about women who are repeat adulterers? There may be fewer, but they are out there. I imagine female circumcision (removal of the clitoris) would be a roungly equal mutilation of the external genitalia as castration.

Both sound like non-starters.

Lesson, women should be more discerning about chosing their long term partners and not just go for the outward stuff like looks and money.
