Adultery is essentially the same thing, a breach of a contract, namely, marriage. Getting married means you can't run around having sex with anyone you want... if you want that freedom, don't get married. The government solemnizes marriage, its about time they enforce them.
You are extending the argument too far. Domestic violence usually includes physical harm or the imminent danger of physical harm. Sexual harassment is also the perception of physical danger.

Breach of contract very rarely, as far as I can figure, ever results in a jail sentence. If a guy cheats, fine... sue him. Do not send him to jail for life. Simple as that.
