double adultery

資料來源 : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)



   Note: It is adultery on the part of the married wrongdoer.
         The word has also been used to characterize the act of
         an unmarried participator, the other being married. In
         the United States the definition varies with the local
         statutes. Unlawful intercourse between two married
         persons is sometimes called {double adultery}; between
         a married and an unmarried person, {single adultery}.
