Mar 12 at 20:47 comment added EvilSnack When the Israelites had the power to impose the death penalty (i.e., were not under foreign rule), divorce in the case of adultery was less of an issue, because adulterers were to be put to death; the betrayed spouse became a widow or widower and divorce was moot.
Mar 12 at 20:31 comment added supercat Paternity was established by requiring that married women engage in relations exclusively with their respective husbands. Reliable establishment of maternity, by contrast, did not require any such social construct, since any child a woman bears was essentially guaranteed to be her biological offspring. Thus, the crime of adultery was limited to relations between a married woman and a man other than her husband.
