Legislators in New Hampshire are voting to repeal a law dating back to 1791
which outlaws adultery.
In all 21 states still have laws which ban married men and women having sex
with anyone other than their spouse.
Gradually these statutes, many of which dating back to the early days of the
United States, are disappearing, but not without a fight.
Opponents say that the repeal is further evidence of moral decay in the
country.
But supporters of the move, which has bipartisan support, say the reform is
long overdue.
