The Code of Hammurabi

English, translated by C. H. W. Johns — Johns, The Oldest Code of Laws in the World, Edinburgh, 1903

If a man has been taken captive and in his house there is maintenance, his wife has gone out from her house and entered into the house of another, because that woman has not guarded her body, and has entered into the house of another, one shall put that woman to account and throw her into the waters.
