meaning - what does 寝取られ mean?


i have been wondering what is exactly the meaning of 寝取られ or definition of it. i tried to translate it using google translate to english and my native language and the result was confusing.


to english: to be taken off.



to my native language: husband who has an unloyal wife.


and if it's true the meaning is "unloyal wife", whats the opposite word of it, i mean the term for "unloyal husband"?



Answer



寝=sleep


取られる=be taken away, robbed


嫁が、誰かに寝取られた。


=My wife was taken away from me by someone, who was sleeping with her.


Traditionally, in old Japan, in politically incorrect eras, men were regarded as the main persons who have immoral sex.


Men often cheat on their wives, and it was their doing. However, if women cheat on their husband, it was thought that it was not their intention. Women were seduced to have sex by the immoral men. So it was said that "the woman was taken by a man, by means of having sex (by means of sleeping with that man).


In today, I mean in the politically correct time, you can use that expression to both gender. ”私の夫は、あのふしだらな悪女に寝取られた。”



Other expressions are:


不倫妻


不倫夫


不倫をしている妻


不倫をしている夫
