Plus in the past, you couldn't even DNA test who your father was. So this whole emphasis on these aspects of society I think has a wisdom.
Naturally I don't think showing your hair is immodest but I think there is a wisdom, that, now with time, is becoming more and more manifest to some of us in applying these rules.
Or you can believe your husband and wife will be faithful with 30%-60% cheat rate in US for example. 2-3% of children are believed to product of infidelity.
Studies also show serial monogamy is very hard (not impossible to do). So I would say divine help regarding this matter is welcomed.
Or it could also be the fact that middle eastern countries tend to penalize adultery stronger than other nations (some of which don't penalize it at all). In the US in most cases it's a small fine, or grounds for divorce. No European country has criminalized adultery. You also have honor killings.
My husband and I have a good healthy relationship, and I trust him. And he trusts me. Trust is very important in a relationship.
