DD>>> Is there a law against fornication in USA, can people
 DD>>> really be locked away or fined for it?

 FS>>> I don't know.  There have been laws against adultery ...

 DC>> Name a State that uses "Adultery" as cause for divorce.

 DC>> If there are any, there aren't many.

 ML>> georgia and north carolina are two that i personally know
 ML>> of... in fact, i used that very reason in my divorce
 ML>> proceedings...

 FS> I *knew* there had been *some* states in which adultery was
 FS> illegal.

i don't know about illegal... only that i used it as grounds for a
divorce... i've yet to hear of anyone being arrested and tried for
adultery... then again, i have yet to hear of anyone being arrested and
tried for shouting underwater or any of the other sundry old laws still on
the books that were never enforced...

my take is that adultery is a social problem and you cannot legislate
social problems...
