What is said about a married woman who betrays her husband?
Adultery is an abomination and a crime that leads to Allah's wrath and displeasure. Allah Almighty says: "And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an abomination and is evil as a way." (Quran 17:32) It is a greater sin and a more heinous act for a married woman than for an unmarried one, and her punishment is more severe (stoning to death), due to her defiling the marital bed and betraying her husband, and the resulting mixing of lineages. The adultery of a married woman combines two rights: the right of Allah by His prohibition of indecency, and the right of the wronged husband whose honor and dignity have been violated. Corrupting a woman against her husband is more severe than taking his money or shedding his blood.
