 Once divorced, an adulteress was not permitted, according to the Talmudic writers, to marry her paramour.As for men who committed adultery (with another man's wife), Abba ben Joseph and Abba Arika are both quoted in the Talmud as expressing abhorrence, and arguing that such men would be condemned to Gehenna.The laws of "family purity" ("tehorat hamishpacha") are considered an important part of an Orthodox Jewish marriage, and adherence to them is (in Orthodox Judaism) regarded as a prerequisite of marriage.
