No, Chizi, you are not wrong. Yes, the definition is also right. The terms, consensual and voluntary, are only mitigating as to the weight of the crime. Its voluntary nature is unrelated to the criminality of the act. There is a sexual intercourse. If it is not voluntary or consensual, on the part of either adult participant, we have rape. There is forcible rape and there is statutory rape. There is also defilement, sex with a minor. Lawyers come in and muddy up the water; we don\'t know which side is up anymore.
Adultery is against the law, it is illegal. One can only be charged with adultery, not illegal adultry. It used to be actionable in this country. You could sue a man or woman for committing adultery with your spouse and it would be punishable, if there is a conviction.
There used to be a time, in this country, when killing a person who violates your bed was not punishable. Nobody would even bring it to trial. But the killing has to be such that it would not be seen as premeditated. You would be protected by the provocation provision.
Those were the good old days. The laws are still in the books, though. It\'s just that society\'s morality has so delapidated that even litigating such a case would be laughable, thanks to fancy lawyers and moral decadence.
Now, there is another thing called fornication. This would be consensual sexual activity by unmaried people. It is, therefore, possible for both adultry and fornication to be committed during one sexual act. If one partner is married and the other is not, the married person would be an adulterer or adulteress, while the unmarried partner would be a fornicator.
