How do you prove concubinage?
The crime of concubinage can be committed only by a husband and his concubine, but it requires that the wife must prove that her husband has kept a mistress in the conjugal dwelling, or has had sexual intercourse under “scandalous circumstances” or lived together with his mistress in any other place.
What is the difference between adultery and concubinage?
Adultery is committed by a wife and should be charged together with the other man, while concubinage is committed by a husband and should be charged together with the other woman or concubine. The case can be passed off as concubinage if cohabitation happens in the conjugal dwelling or in any other place.
How long is the sentence for adultery?
Adultery is punishable by imprisonment of Prision Correcional in its medium and maximum period ( range of 2 years, 4 months and 1 day to 6 years imprisonment). Both your wife and her paramour shall be subjected to such punishment if found guilty.
