“If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them shall die—the man that lay with the woman, and the woman; so you shall put away the evil from Israel. - Deuteronomy 22:22
Since they stated they caught the woman in the act, where was the man?
That is one of the problems of the story, which are indicators that the story never happened. The fact that there is no man is equally nonsensical as people listening to Jesus on these matters. Like, if they were obviously not acting in accordance to Mosaic law, why wouldn't Jesus notice it and point it out?
Who says he didn't? The bible says he stooped down and began to write in the dirt with his finger... doesn't say what he wrote. It could've been the law for all we know.
