Ethical decadences are increasing in our contemporary society day by day. Adultery is one of the examples of moral degradation. This study investigates the present condition and consequences of adultery and finds women commit adultery with ex-lover, relative, known person and in some cases with unknown person. Social media such as: facebook, whats app, viber, imo etc. are common tools to commit adultery in now days. Lack of moral sense, degenerate culture, lack of family bonding, technological development are the main causes for committing adultery and as consequences murder, divorce, spouse violence, domestic violence, flogging, sexually transmitted diseases, honor-killing, stoning etc are the result of adultery. It conducted based on secondary resources which are collected from books, articles, newspapers and authentic websites. This study tries to describe adultery through opportunity theory where adultery is thought a result of getting more opportunity. Legal authorities can get a clear idea about the conditions and consequences of adultery which can help the government to create policy to decrease adultery in Bangladesh.

This paper delves into the exploration of social impacts of dowry transactions in Muslim marriages of Sylhet, Bangladesh. A cross-sectional study applying mixed methods was conducted with a sample of thirty women (N=30) who experienced dowry-related violence in their marital lives and reported it to women's agencies for arbitration or having legal action. Each sampled woman was interviewed with a semistructured interview questionnaire that included a list of socioeconomic variables to elicit the context, patterns, types of dowry transaction and its consequences on their connubial life. Major findings indicate that the bride's party paid dowries i.e. cash money, furniture, jewelries, land etcetera to the groom's party before or after or during marriage ceremony hoping their bride's conjugal happiness. But the unpaid or extra dowries were there in demand that generated many socio-familial effects-most of these are negative-which contributed to increase the incidences of spousal violence against married women in conjugal lives. Women experienced a wide range of controlling behaviors as well as physical, emotional, sexual and socioeconomic violence. Husband was the main perpetrator of violence followed by his parents, brothers, sisters and relatives. Inequitable societal attitudes towards them were used to justify violence by both women and men; and thereby, perpetuate a climate where violence-reduction interventions had a limited impact.
