Does society regard it as legally unacceptable for a third party to commit adultery with someone’s spouse? Marriages are founded on love and respect, which are not legal rules, and are the responsibility of the spouses themselves. Appropriately, the Constitutional Court ruled on Friday that adultery is no longer part of South African law.
The judges ruled that a wronged spouse can no longer sue for damages, reasoning that marriage is based on the concept of two willing parties. In other words, the court feels you cannot attach a monetary value to marital fidelity.
* The following is thanks to a kind doctor: What happens to our body during fasting? Day 1 to 2: Blood sugar levels drop, heart slows, blood pressure is reduced, glycogen is pulled from muscles causing weakness, headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, heavily-coated tongue, and hunger is intense.
Days 3 to 7: Fatty acids are broken down to release glycerol from gliceride molecules and converted to glucose, skin becomes oily as rancid oils are purged from the body, digestive system takes a much-needed rest focusing all energy on cleansing and healing, white blood cells and immune system activity increases, cleansing organs and lungs get repaired, breath is foul and tongue is still coated, within the intestines the colon is repaired and impacted faeces on the intestinal walls are loosened.
Days 8 to 15: Enhanced energy, clear of mind but old injuries become irritated and painful due to the body’s increased ability to heal during fasting (the body’s healing ability was compromised prior to fasting, now the body is at optimum efficiency), body scours for dead or damaged tissues, the lymphocytes secrete substances into older damaged tissues to dissolve damaged cells, healing process is in full swing, muscles (especially legs) become tight and sore due to toxin irritation, cankers become common due to excessive bacteria in the mouth (daily gargling with salt and water prevents or heals cankers).
Days 16 to 30: Body is adapted to fasting process, more energy and clarity of mind, cleansing periods are short and many days of feeling good in between, there are days when the tongue is pink and the breath is fresh, healing work of organs is nearing completion, detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or rendered it harmless, body is working at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation to replace damaged tissues, mental capacity gets better, heightened clarity and emotional balance is experienced, and memory and concentration improves.
Happy fasting!
