But why would Jews ask Jesus whether they should obey the Torah or not?! And then listen to him?
Compliance with Mosaic Law was not a joke. It was rigorously enforced; after all, that was what public stoning was for.
It's like if today law enforcement officers strap a convict to the electric chair in Kentucky to execute him, but someone, who has nothing to do with the judiciary system, says "Don't do it" and they don't do it.
The answer is pretty simple really, they weren't acting in accordance to Mosaic law since it clearly states that BOTH the man and woman were to be stoned.
“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?
