Article 652 — Adultery.

(1) A spouse bound by a union recognized under civil law who commits adultery, is punishable, upon complaint by the injured spouse, with simple imprisonment or fine. The same punishment shall apply to the partner who commits adultery with a person whom he knows to have a valid marriage. Where the complainant has provoked the adultery consented to it, condoned it or derived profit from it no proceedings shall follow. (2) The Court may mitigate the punishment (Art. 180) where, at the time at which the adultery was committed, the two spouses had already ceased to cohabit. (3) Where the criminal installs a concubine in the conjugal home while not divorced or abandoned by his spouse, simple imprisonment shall be for not less than three months.
