The History of Infidelity
Infidelity,
what does this often misinterpreted word really
mean? Generally it brings to one’s mind the act
of a married person committing the offence of
extra marital sex or adultery. In common
parlance this would simply mean “being
unfaithful“, ”cheating the spouse “ or “having
an affair! However this word has been derived
from the word “infidel” that has a religious
forever being a reference to a “non believer” in
the faith or person lacking faith in it.
It also had the meaning of cheating in any form,
for example, on one’s own faith. Over the passage
of time “infidelity” in common usage became
synonymous with “adultery” , a sin against the
faith, any way. In effect, whether it is
“adultery” or infidelity”; both refer to a
breach of faith or a sacred vow. Infidelity is
considered a grave crime in many parts of the
world including the United States. Though the
interpretation of the term varies from region
to region, or state to state as in the case of
USA, the offence itself is punishable in the law. In the Middle East for
example it is
a crime
punishable by lashings or in the worst case
even death by stoning. Infidelity, which
in the present context takes the meaning of
adultery, is a sin committed against God,
forbidden in the 7th of the Ten
Commandments (Exodus), Deuteronomy and other
places. As a matter of fact all major religions
of the world consider infidelity as morally
bad .Infidelity also called philandery, is the
major cause of divorce in marriages as shown by
many a survey conducted among divorce lawyers,
offenders and the innocent parties the
percentage being specially high in the case of
the first time divorces. Irrespective of the
religious and moral taboos imposed, cheating
spouses has been going on since time immemorial!
The biblical scriptures refer to incidences
where the sin has been committed by non other
than the godly men themselves. Abraham and Jacob
are two classic examples. Over the centuries the
definitions and interpretation of the act of
adultery kept on changing. In the New Testament
alone the interpretations differ in the three
gospels according to the Saints Matthew, Mark
and Luke. The early civilizations such as
Egyptian, Roman , Greek and Indian differed
in their views as to the interpretation but
at the core the act in some form remained
morally unacceptable. All the prohibitions,
taboos, laws against, have not been able to
curb the activities of adulterers. Some recent
researches have indicated that the human male is
polygamous in nature. The majority of married
offenders are male some studies how, which is
quite in line with this theory. Some other
findings have indicated half the cases of
infidelity end in divorce. No wonder the world
of literature and art has found infidelity a
fertile field for their creations. From
Shakespeare to modern day writers have explored
and exploited the human emotions, love, lust,
murder, mayhem, tragedy and comedy inherent
with adultery. Classic work like Othello, Anna
Karanina, Dr.Szivago, Brokenback Mountain are
good examples of this from different Spheres of
literature and art.
Cheating spouse
may be high entertainment for some. But to the
cheated invariably end up in misery unless of
course the law of the country provide some
redress for them. For this it is
imperative sufficient unshakable evidence is
gathered by the offended party and made
available to the law enforcers in the event of
a divorce suite. Enter the Private
Investigator aka Private Detective aka the
Private Eye! The life and work of a Private
Investigator is well depicted ted in the classic
character of Drake, the right hand man of the
fictitious criminal lawyer Perry Mason, a
creation of the Lawyer writer Early Stanley
Gardner, well loved by the English detective
story readers even to the modern day. How the
crafty lawyer obtain the services of a Private
Investigator to gather evidence to establish the
innocence of his client and the extend of
tedious work carried out by the Drake Detective
Agency is amazingly realistic and
enlightening too. Though Drake Detective Agency
is fictitious, the modern day Private Eye is
very real as the adulterers themselves are.
Historically the Frenchman, Eugène François
Vidocq, a soldier, criminal and privateer, is
credited with the establishment of the first
recorded private detective agency in
1833 which went by the name Le
bureau des reassignments (Office of
Intelligence) and hired other criminal elements
of the day to assist him!. Vidocq is also
credited with having introduced record-keeping,
criminology and ballistics to criminal
investigation. He is said to have made the first
plaster casts of shoe impressions and a host of
other inventions, the tools of his trade. He is
also said to have inspired Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle in the creation of the immortal detective
character Sherlock Holmes. Soon after
Vidocq, the Private Investigating Organizations
came in to being in the
United States due to
pioneering efforts of Allan Pinkerton who
established the private enterprise Pinkerton
National Detective Agency, a security guard and
detective agency. Pinkerton became famous
when he foiled an assassination attempt on the
then President elect of America Abraham Lincoln.
Allan Pinkerton’s work is legendary in spite of
some infamous activities by his staff in
settling certain industrial disputes at the
time. Failure or inadequacies of law
officers at the time made these agencies thrive
in the by gone days . They even acted partially
as law enforcement officers at times of need. On
the negative side they were also often called in
to settle labor disputes and other similar
issues by the business tycoons of the day. Some
early private investigators were anyway nothing
but outfits of mercenaries and professional
soldiers out of work helping private entities
with problems that could be better solved by
the show of force or military style action,
usually out side the united states.
Incidentally it is the Pinkerton Agency's logo,
an eye embellished with the words "We Never
Sleep" inspired the now familiar term “private
eye” However it was not until the 1920s that the private
investigator became a person within reach to
the average US citizen. Since then the Private
Investigation Agencies have grown with the
changing needs of the public. Social issues like
infidelity, fraud, criminal investigations extra
to that of the law, civil disputes, industrial
espionage and others needing investigation have
influenced the growth of enterprises of
Private Investigators. Today, as more and more
technical advances make the adulterers’ and
other social misfits’ activities easy and
carefree, the private investigators too have to
be equipped with hi-tech devices to make their
clients day. Caching the culprit in the act and
making it stick is easy for a genuine properly
equipped licensed professional. Professionalism
is what ultimately will matter when it comes to
the presentation of the victims case when
seeking redress for example in a divorce suite
based on infidelity. If infidelity is your
