#16 Michigan – An Affair is a Felony

In the Great Lakes State, winners never cheat and cheaters are convicted felons. If a person is proven to be cheating on their spouse, she/he faces up to four years in state prison, in addition to a $5,000 fine. Plus, if you’re single, you’ll still go to jail for sleeping with a married man or woman.

At first, this might not seem that stupid. But Remember – it’s a state law. What happens outside of Michigan is inadmissible in court. Statistically, it ruined way more marriages then it saved. A felony trial doesn’t leave room for further trust, regardless of the verdict.
