Adultery decriminalised in Kingdom of Strathae
In news today Adultery was decriminalised for the first time since the founding of the nation as the revolutionary Clan Progressive party backed bill passed the Clan Assembly and was given signature by High King Daniel Gwenegg-Di-Haggia. The move is revolutionary for a nation in which over 41% still believe in jailing those who commit adultery and having the divorcee affected have the right to take all assets except one months rent and any businesses built up. The Clan Progressive Party ran on the most progressive ticket in over 150 years winning for the first time for Clan Progressivism which has always been confined to small wings of the Clan Socialist Party and Party of Tradition.
High Chief Éimhear Dearbháil Scott said in her statement to the press "Dear Strathaens, today following in the footsteps of our Eskkyan cousins we have officially decriminalised adultery in the Kingdom of Strathae. Now I want to make clear this does not mean we have made it legal, this does not mean we have made websites promoting or aiding in adultery legal. All that has changed is that one can no longer go to prison for committing adultery.
Adultery will still be considered in cases of divorce as a significant factor. If adultery can be proved then the adulterer will still lose all assets except businesses , a few heirlooms and enough for 2 months rent to their ex-partner. Adulterers will still lose custody of the children unless the other adult is seen as unfit or other arrangements are made. Adulterers in short will still pay the price for their unfaithfulness and those aiding and abetting will still be sent to prison for aiding and abetting adulterers. I want to make clear Clan Progressivism is still and will always be totally against and discouraging of adultery, one of the worst crimes a man or woman can commit apart from rape, murder, taking of ones life or pornography. We will treat it as the serious crime it is."
The vote in the house was as follows:
The act was passed 141 votes to 83. It is rumoured that high ranking clan council members are upset at the passing of the law while the True Orthodox , and Ultra-Orthox Breizhigist faiths as well as some Orthodox Priests have announced their opposition to the passage of the act. The priests have written a letter condemning the "undermining of the social fabric of Strathae" and have started calls fo a referendum to settle the issue with a vote of the people. The group called "Strathaens for Sacred Marraige" has been set up to campaign for the "defense of the sanctity of marraige and the eternal vow of love."
