Hi Guys,

According to MI Law adultery is illegal in MI, but the statute has not been used since 1971, but is still on the books...

THE MICHIGAN PENAL CODE (EXCERPT)
Act 328 of 1931
Chapter V
ADULTERY

Document Type Description
Section 750.29 Section Adultery; definition.
Section 750.30 Section Adultery; punishment.
Section 750.31 Section Adultery; complaint and time of prosecution.
Section 750.32 Section Adultery; cohabitation of divorced parties.

Also see following news story from freep.com last year...

Adultery in Michigan Punishable by Life in Prison
A ruling by the second highest court in Michigan has indicated that state lawmakers have inadvertently made anyone who commits adultery guilty of 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

The law states that any sexual penetration "under circumstances involving the commission of any other felony" is 1st-degree criminal sexual conduct. Adultery is still a felony in Michigan but there have been no convictions under the law since 1971.

The unusual combination of laws was discovered when the state attorney general successfully appealed the decision to drop CSC charges against a married man who was trading drugs for sex with several women.

You`re right. It`s rarely enforced though because the offended spouse has to bring the charges and most people don`t know about the law.
