Because there is no law against infidelity. You must break a law to commit a crime.

However, one can seek divorce on grounds of infidelity.

You can go against a contract. That is a crime. Doing so is punishable by law.

Under the Nigeria's Marriage Act, infidelity will only be a ground for divorce if the spouse finds it intolerable. Where the spouse finds it intolerable, the worst the court can do is to terminate the marriage.

The law governing Southern Nigeria (Criminal Code) provides that Adultery is NOT a crime.

However, the Penal Code predominantly used in Northern Nigeria makes Adultery a crime in their parts.

Infidelity can never be a crime because, it is an agreement between 2(Two) adults.

Then everybody would be an ex convict because nobody is innocent, even your so called pastors and alfas, they’re the worst.

Without good food and sex, this world would be a terrible boring place, so nobody should be jailed for indulging in it. But you just have to use your sense and not abuse it, that’s all.

They didn’t create somebody’s body part exclusively for one person alone abeg.

It's high time it's passed into law as a crime and punishable with at least 7yrs imprisonment with no option or fine.
Whoever can't be faithful should remain single for life.
