North Carolina adultery law remains on books after repeal effort fails
Fox News
North Carolina lawmakers killed a bill this week that would have repealed a more-than-a-century-old law that allows people to sue their spouse’s lover for "alienation of affection," according to reports.
North Carolina is only one of a handful of states that have similar laws. State Rep. Wesley Harris, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, contended the law was both "archaic and antiquated." "This was started in the 1700s in Great Britain when women were still treated as property of their husbands," he said, according to WRAL-TV in Raleigh.More Related News
