Which is more immoral?

[nclib]

Option 1 for me.

Comitting adultery, though this is a bad choice. It's like saying decide whether hacking someone to death is worse than bludgeoning them to death.

I agree this is a bad choice.  One is direct violence, the other is an a more indirect type of pain.

I don't think rape can happen in a marriage that is anywhere near healthy.  A husband and wife try to accomodate each other's needs.  If they're not in the mood at the same time, they'll compromise.  A man or woman may sometimes "perform" when they'd really rather not, but by the same token, a partner who really wants it will sometimes forego sex if the other partner is clearly not in the mood.

Bringing charges of rape within a marriage should only be done in the most extreme circumstances, and if that were ever to happen, it really couldn't be said that a marriage actually exists.

Rape, because adultery (at least for the purposes of this question) presumably involves consent.

[Ebowed]

Oooh, this is a really tough one.  I voted for raping your spouse, but they're both horrible.

[John Dibble]

Option 1 is more immoral and probably more painful emotionally(physical should be obvious) so that's what I voted, though those who've never seen how adultery can hurt someone probably don't understand the level of emotional pain it can cause. When my step-dad cheated on my mom she was really hurt(almost to the level of when my dad died), though I think it was the fact that he outright lied about it when confronted(she had the proof, but he didn't know that) that hurt the most - people make mistakes, but being dishonest about it just makes the violation of trust much worse.

If they are, good.  Nothing wrong with a little humor, especially in response to such a loaded and propaganda-laced question.

Both should be grounds for an insant divorce

[opebo]

Adultery is the norm, but I think wife-rape is less common than it used to be.

Hacking is worse.

Well, yes. I agree with that. Still, rape is a helluva lot worse.

[TheWildCard]

I suppose rape... Both choices are bad.

[Democratic Hawk]

Both are utterly repugnant. I'd vote rape because of the violence

I am pleased by the results of this poll, even though remarkably in some states marital rape is legal and adultery is not.

Dude, why are you so focused on making adultery legal everywhere?  It's not just about sex; it's a breach of contract.

It's a private matter that the state shouldn't be involved with. This is perhaps another reason why it might make sense for the government to get out of marriage alltogether and just issue civil unions.

Let me ask you, regardless of how immoral it is compared to marital rape, do you believe adultery is immoral?

Yes.
