The article attepts to give some brushstrokes around the mechanisms to
punish, guard, and control adultery. These are analyzed according to two categories: caste
and gender. The first part explains how intersectionality serves as the methodological
theoretical framework of the work. The second deals with family, marriage and honor as
the determining elements to unite individuals and what should be. The third analyzes
adultery as a sin and crime. In the fourth, Xalapa region´s economic, political and social
dynamics are analyzed, as well as the influence of the entire legal, moral and religious
corpus built in New Spain, which had an impact on this space in the study period from
1765 to 1777.
