from what I have read, a lady in Beaumont was charged with a 3rd degree felony for Bigamy. She could face 2-10 years probation and a $10,000 fine. This was in March 2008.
My mom just found out her 2nd husband was still married to his last wife, so she is working on this also.

∙ 13y agoThere is not a legal "punishment" for adultery in Texas. Adultery is a civil issue, not a criminal issue, so there is no law or statute governing it in the criminal or penal codes. The punishment for adultery would be whatever your wife/husband inflicts on you after discovering the affair.

Why Islam have punishment beheading and stoning to death?
If a man or woman commits adultery, they are whipped 100 times. If they are married and commiut adultery then, they are stoned to death. If a man steals when he does not need to, he has his hand chopped off. I agree, Islamic punishments are severe. However, this is the only way to stop theft, adultery etc. from happening. In the whole lifetime of the prophet Muhammed (pbuh), only 2 people ever had to be capitally punished, this is because, people were afraid. Nowadays, however, due to the punishments being so lenient; adultery, rape and theft happen every single day. So, although, the punishments are severe, they help society become a much safer place.
