LOPEZ HERNANDEZ, Miriam. In tetl, in cuahuitl. Pre-hispanic Nahuatl Juridical Systems in Relation to Adultery. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2017, vol.38, n.149, pp.193-227. ISSN 2448-7554.
This article studies the sanctions imposed on adultery in the juridical systems of the ancient Nahuatls, analyzing the factors involved in the system of the application of punishments in relation to the following factors: type of evidence, circumstances, social class, and gender. A married woman who had sexual relations with a man other than her husband was perceived to have transgressed the social order; in contrast, a man who had sexual relations with another man's wife was accused of violating the law.
