While cases of adultery could thus be difficult to prove, divorce laws added over the years enabled a husband to divorce his wife on circumstantial evidence of adultery, without witnesses or additional evidence. Alternatively, to enforce capital punishment for adultery, at least two witnesses were required, and both the man and woman involved were subject to punishment. A separate procedure was to be followed if a newly-wed husband became suspicious that his wife had been promiscuous before marriage. In the Torah, if a husband suspected his wife of adultery, there was a prescribed ordeal she underwent to determine her guilt or innocence. There shall be no intercourse with a woman, without previous marriage with a deed of marriage and formal declaration of marriage.Not to have intercourse with another man's wife.The mitzvah against adultery is interpreted to refer to sexual relations between a man and a married woman.
