Nice alliteration, but somewhat obscuring the actual question, which I believe involves screwing a married person. And that has nothing to do with "property", that has to do with VOWS (PROMISES) they made to each other. So if you are the kind of nasty person who tries to worm their way between ...

There are a lot of politics and people expressing their opinions on here.
