67 Words1 Page

While it is has been held in disbarment cases that the mere fact of sexual relations between two unmarried adults is not sufficient to warrant administrative sanction for such illicit behavior, it is not so with respect to betrayals of the marital vow of fidelity. The Court has considered sexual relations outside marriage as disgraceful and immoral as it manifests deliberate disregard of the sanctity of marriage.

    There are different types of crimes, different organizations that work for the criminal justice system, and different punishments or corrections for criminals. For an act to be considered criminal behavior, it needs to be based on a few principles: the person(s) convicted of the behavior is innocent until proven guilty, the government must conduct a fair examination, the person accused of the crime can ask for an unbiased judge, all trials must be accessible to attend to, and all cases must be treated equally under the law (2013, pg.179-180). For instance, if all these principles were applied to a person accused of having sex with a minor, which is a criminal offense in Canada, and he/she is found guilty, they can be convicted. Whereas, if this sexual act where to take place between two consenting adults, even if one or both parties were married, but not to each other, this would not be a criminal offense.
