North Carolina opts to keep century-old law against adultery

North Carolinians can still sue a person who has an affair with their spouse, after a handful of lawmakers killed a bill that would have repealed a state law at least a century old.
In a hearing Wednesday morning, members of a House judiciary committee split in a 4-4 vote on whether to advance House Bill 485 and eliminate the state’s “criminal conversations” law. The tie vote kept the bill from moving forward.
This isn’t the first time lawmakers have attempted to remove North Carolina from a list of just six states where husbands or wives can sue a third party for having an affair with their spouse. England abolished the centuries-old law, which originated when men still considered women as property, in the 1850s.

North Carolina lawmakers killed a bill this week that would have repealed a more-than-a-century-old law that allows people to sue their spouse’s lover for alienation of affection, according to reports.
Members of the House judiciary committee split 4-4 Wednesday on whether to advance the bill, with some of those in favor of keeping it arguing its repeal would be legalizing adultery, according to the News & Observer in Raleigh.
North Carolina is one of only a handful of states that have similar laws.
State Rep. Wesley Harris, a Democrat who sponsored the bill, contended the law was both archaic and antiquated.
