Arrr mateys! A scallywag from New York be aimin' to scrap a law from 1907 that says ye can't cheat on yer matey. If caught, ye might find yerself locked up in the brig! Shiver me timbers!
Arrr, me hearties! Ye might be shocked to learn that in the fair land of New York, it be against the law to cheat on yer spouse! Aye, ye heard me right. Back in 1907, some scallywags passed a law makin' adultery a misdemeanor, punishable by three months in the brig. But fear not, for a brave lawmaker be fightin' to change that! Assemblyman Charles Lavine be spearheading a bill to make infidelity legal once more.He be arguin' that in this day and age, consensual intimate relations between adults be nobody's business but their own. The bill be sailin' through the Legislature quicker than a cutthroat pirate crew on the high seas. Passed unanimously by the Codes Committee, it be on its way to the Senate for final approval.Despite only a handful of scallywags bein' charged under the adultery law, Lavine be adamant that the government should not be meddlin' in the affairs of consenting adults. Back in the 1960s, there were talks of scrapin' the law altogether, but a few landlubbers feared it might encourage even more infidelity.So, me hearties, it be a wild ride in the world of New York's adultery laws. But fear not, for Assemblyman Lavine be fightin' for the right to love freely, without the threat of the hangman's noose!
