 fornication
      n 1: voluntary sexual intercourse between persons not married to
           each other
      2: extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes
         with marriage relations; "adultery is often cited as
         grounds for divorce" [syn: adultery, criminal
         conversation]

 Fornication
    in every form of it was sternly condemned by the Mosaic law
    (Lev. 21:9; 19:29; Deut. 22:20, 21, 23-29; 23:18; Ex. 22:16).
    (See ADULTERY.)
      But this word is more frequently used in a symbolical than in
    its ordinary sense. It frequently means a forsaking of God or a
    following after idols (Isa. 1:2; Jer. 2:20; Ezek. 16; Hos. 1:2;
    2:1-5; Jer. 3:8,9).
