H Adultery is the unlawful voluntary sexual intercourse of a married person with one or the opposite sex, and when the crime ls committed between parties, only one of whom is married, both are· guilty of adultery. Pen. Code Dak. § 333. I It is to be observed, however, that in some of the states it is held that this crime is com• mitted only when the woman is married to a third person, and the unlawful commerce of a married man with an unmarried woman is not of the grade of adultery. In some juris- J dictions, also. a distinction is made between double and single adultery, the former being co=itted where both parties are married to other persons, the latter where one only is so married.
