(1)The UK amended the Sex Offences Act 2003 to punish anyone who did not agree and committed adultery knowingly. However, if an attempt was made to confirm the other party’s consent, the punishment could be avoided in consideration of all circumstances.
(2)Germany, which established the crime of adultery in November 2016, punishes those who commit adultery against the recognizable will of others for rape in accordance with Article 177 of the Criminal Code. Punishment can be avoided if the victim does not agree to sexual intercourse only in his/her mind without expressing his/her intention.
(3)The U.S. states have different laws, but Washington state punishes rape if it is proven that there was no consent from the victim, Texas state punishes rape when the victim disagrees definitively, while California and others have not introduced immovable adultery.
(4)Particular attention should be paid to the Swedish case of introducing adultery in May 2018.
