Mam,
I want to ask you 1) Is it unlawful or illegal for a married man / woman to have feelings and love for an unmarried woman / man. Also is it the same for a married man/woman to harbour feelings for another married woman/man.
The above may be with or without physical intimacy.
Regards,
Ans: Dear Rupannita,
NO, it is not illegal to have feelings for a married man/woman.
What might be illegal and unlawful within certain faiths and beliefs is a second marriage when the first marriage is still active.
No one can stop feelings from arising, but you can certainly stop acting on those feelings. Right?
Acting on those feelings and giving your heart to someone who is married can only result in disappointment and uncertainty leading to stress and anxiety.
Whether it is with or without physical intimacy, taking care of one's mental health is top priority. Life that is unsettling, uncertain with the person unavailable when you need him/her the most can only affect the mind to a great degree.
So, acting on those feelings for momentary pleasure may cause a long-term heartache. It's a clear choice...
All the best!
