Other "dharmasastra" texts describe adultery as a punishable crime but offer differing details. According to "Naradasmriti (12.61-62)", it is an adulterous act if a man has sexual intercourse with the woman who is protected by another man. The term adultery in "Naradasmriti" is not confined to the relationship of a married man with another man's wife. It includes sex with any woman who is protected, including wives, daughters, other relatives, and servants. Adultery is not a punishable offence for a man if "the woman's husband has abandoned her because she is wicked, or he is eunuch, or of a man who does not care, provided the wife initiates it of her own volition". Brihaspati-smriti mention, among other things, adulterous local customs in ancient India and then states, "for such practices these (people) incur neither penance nor secular punishment". Kautilya's "Arthashastra" includes an exemption that in case the husband forgives his adulterous wife, the woman and her lover should be set free. If the offended husband does not forgive, the "Arthashastra" recommends the adulterous woman's nose and ears be cut off, while her lover be executed.
