Kamesu Micchacara

“The bad results of committing adultery or carnally knowing maidens still under guardianship:”

The person who breaks this Precept of Kamesu Micchacara may, on his death, reach one of the four lower planes of existence, and after that, if he should be reborn in the human world, he is liable to have many enemies, so that all meet him regard him with hostility.
