A class of common law love crimes largely extinct but that generally would be awesome to be convicted of. Includes breach of a promise to marry, seduction of an unmarried female (sex under false pretenses of marriage), alienation of affections (persuading a married person to hate their spouse), criminal conversion (civil tort of adultery), and jactitation of marriage (pretending to be married to someone you're not).
