xena, that is a really simplistic viewpoint. What this article does not really go into in any depth is why some of these women felt that they had to pry. Could be that their husband's character had changed, this is usually a sign. Another is being secretive with their phone. Unexplained financial transactions. If all of these things were going on and the wife asked her husband point blank if he was seeing another woman and he said no, I would be highly suspicious and I think it is justified in seeking the truth when it was obvious her husband was lying.

Suggesting that a way round this is for men to take oaths is pretty useless. If someone cheats on their spouse, they already have a dishonest nature so what makes the authorities think they will tell the truth under oath?
