Is a married woman who communicates with men over the internet and meets them on dates in danger of giving her husband grounds for divorce ?

Yes, Communicating with other men over the internet and meeting them as a result gives rise to the suspicion that she is having intimate relations outside of her marriage. Under Jewish law “ugly acts” on the part of a wife e.g. communicating over the internet and meeting them – are divorce grounds for a husband, but the panel of rabbinical judges have considerable discretion in the matter where there is no evidence of full adultery.
