Abstract

Adultery is a social problem that is often encountered in today's modern life. In positive law in Indonesia, adultery is a complaint offense where Criminal punishment can only be imposed on subjects who commit adultery while married. The problems brought by the act of adultery are not only a matter of morality, but cause many other problems as well as the losses incurred both to the victim, society and even to the perpetrator of adultery. However, the Criminal Code places sanctions on adultery offenses with very light weight. This legal research explains the role of the police as an instrument of law enforcement in resolving adultery cases based on laws and regulations.
