Through the thinking of progressive jurists it is not impossible that the principle of material legality in Indonesia will turn into law that is recognized by the State and legislated as positive law.

The addition of these legal regulations cannot be prevented because the community hopes that with the addition of these regulations, life and safety will improve even though the number of violations against these regulations may increase. Based on the framework above, it appears that the crime of adultery according to positive law and according to Islamic law, has quite fundamental differences, so research is needed to find out this so that it is hoped that it can be used as another alternative in carrying out criminal law reforms in Indonesia in the future.Keywords: Comparative Law, Adultery, Islamic Law, Criminal Code. ]]>
