Is extramarital affair a sin?

Dude I don't think there is anyway that you can make it right in any culture...
So in my book yes it is

depends on whether you believe in sins or not...most all christians say it is, the muslims will jail/lash you for it... not a big deal for hindu's, not sure why...

I believe religion makes it in..

wooo interesting... so hindhus can me affairs?

I think it depends on who you ask. You should get all opinions before coming to a conclusion. Maybe continue to ask strangers on a web.. or ask your friends.. or maybe your wife.

I am sure the answer will come to you.

Cheating on a spouse is wrong regardless of any religion.

^ How would a Melmacian know that? You're slipping...

Hey, Melmacians are monogamous beings.

Yes, but are they religious?

Does this answer your question?

You met Jesus personally??

That isn't me personally in that painting.

You Humans think that we Melmacians all look alike, but we don't.

Anyway, one doesn't have to be religious to know that it is wrong to cheat on a spouse.

Your profile says you are non religious.
Why do you want to know if it is a sin?
Would you like your wife to have an extra marital affair?

"Our" problem lies in the deeply regrettable fact that whatever be the issue, we tend to drag 'religion' into the limelight. As for example, this particular thread was conferred the title 'Is Extra-Marital Affair A Sin?' and Lo & Behold: "Christians, Muslims & Hindus" were immediately brought into limelight. Sometimes, I get confused as to what to think of myself first: "A Human Being" OR "A Hindu"?


As for 'Manoj', I think that's a question you should be asking 'your own self' instead of 'others' around you. And if I appreciate what 'LadyWind7' had to say to you (which, incidentally I do), then I'd 'suggest' you to discuss this issue with your wife & if she feels (out of her own volition) that her husband (you) are free to go in for an extra-marital affair, then 'we' are NOT here to judge that as a SIN. I mean why should we?

However, you should remember to be JUST & FAIR in 'that' deal. If she does allow you to enter such a relationship, then you should also have the 'courage' and 'heart' (more appropriately: "BALLS OF STEEL") to accept her extra-marital affair too. (You know what I mean)


And just in case, you wish to keep such a relationship in the dark (i.e. in utter secrecy from your wife), then it would be reasonable for you to:

(a) Ask yourself whether such an 'act' is a 'crime' or otherwise (instead of seeking public opinion)

(b) Be mentally prepared to admit the fact that it could also have been your 'wife' in a clandestine extra-marital relationship.


Good Luck To You!

I look it this way if you really love your wife or husband why would you want to hurt them and loose everything you have worked hard for. Once you have broken that trust there is no turning back. It is hard to trust when you have been hurt by someone you have love and trusted.

"sin" is a religious concept... i answered what he asked

just thinking about cheating is a sin.
so if I'm going to do the time! I might as well do the crime..

Humm... shouldn't this be under the General religion section ?

IdK what religion your are referring to ?
In MY religion there are over 830+ sins & formication & adultery are just 2 of them.

830?.. that's way too much to remember.. I haven't even mastered the 10 commandments yet
