Adultery
From Urantia Wiki, the encyclopedia of The Urantia Book
ancient puberty ceremonies taught boys to avoid adultery 70:7.11
Adultery was recognized as a form of stealing, an infringement of the husband’s property rights. The reason for holding the wife to stricter sex account than the husband was because her marital infidelity involved descent and inheritance 82:4.3-4
many ancient laws expressed commandments against adultery 66:7.14 93:4.12 94:8.12 131:2.12 140:6.5 163:2.4
there existed an infidelity test from Old Testament that required women to drink a nasty potion 70:10.6
primitive wives took pride in husbands’ affairs with other women 82:3.13
primitives believed multiple births were caused by magic or infidelity, so they usually killed one of the twins after birth 68:6.8
in the past it was believed that a woman who died in childbirth, specially with twins, was guilty of adultery 84:4.7
in John gospel is the tale of a woman taken in adultery brought to Jesus by scribes and Pharisees. Scholars discuss if this event actually took place and The Urantia Book states that really happened, detailing the name of the adulteress, Hildana 162:3
