Best Answer

The question that is being asked is very unclear -- therefore impossible to answer. Please clarify your question, with a bit more detail.

However, the LDS/Mormon Church does teach the principle of repentance and believe that all may be forgiven of sin and restored to a state of cleanliness; as if the sin never happened.

The couple would need to first go talk to their Bishop. The church has family councilor's where the couple can go and receive help. The person who committed adultery would need to repent and totally feel bad for what he did. If the couple are both Mormons there is a process they would go through. But yes, the man and women can still stay together if both are in agreement and can work out their problems and and are still in love with each other.

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), serious sins are dealt with privately and individually. In the case of adultery, the spouse would likely play some part in the sinner's repentance process.

The actions of the Church in the repentance process depend on the circumstance and, most importantly, the penitence of the person in question.

I do not have the authority to speak for the Church, but generally speaking, disciplinary action may include counseling, disfellowshipping, or even excommunication.

The important part is that none of these actions are permanent. ANY person may repent through Christ's Atonement and return to full fellowship in the Church, after the process has been completed.

Another answer:

Within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church), if someone comes forward with adultery, they may be disfellowshipped or excommunicated until they have fully repented. They and their spouse will be offered counseling as well. Although Mormon couples are encouraged to 'work it out' rather than divorce, adultery is considered a serious violation of the marriage covenant and is therefore acceptable grounds for divorce. Within the Mormon church, adultery is considered one of the most serious sins, next to murder.

While each situation is treated on a case by case basis, I can tell you what I have seen in my experience as a member of the Church. I have known of a handful of cases where the husband committed adultery. In one case, the husband was not interested in trying to work it out (although his wife said she would forgive him), and left his spouse for the new woman. He was excommunicated and the congregation supported his wife through the divorce and in her single years until she was remarried. In another case where the husband committed adultery, he was temporarily disfellowshipped while he worked with the bishop toward repentance. His wife He and is wife received counseling from Church leaders and are still happily married more than a decade later.

Why does my ex allow his new wife to treat me badly when they are the one's who committed adultery not me?

There is no reason you have to be constantly around your husbands new wife. If you have joint custody of children you have the right to ask your husband to come and pick up the children by himself and drop them off the same way and this way you will not have to deal with his wife. If you have no children then you shouldn't be seeing your ex or his wife. His wife obviously does not want you around because 'ex' means the relationship is over.

No, not unless it can be proven that the wife was an accomplice or complicit in the crime. HOWEVER: depending on the state, the innocent wife may have to deal with efforts to collect damages by the husbands victim(s) if they can get court orders placing liens on the husbands assets.

It says in the Bible, (Mat 5:32) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
