More than anything, I think they sought community stability. Some wise and observant person must have noticed that the greater the debauchery, the less stable it was, so they opted for strict rules.
That said, it was under extreme circumstances. In most modern cities, we no longer rely as heavily on these rules. For example, it used to be dangerous for the blacksmith to have an affair with the doctor's wife, since if a misfortune happened, it would affect the town as a whole. Now, if your neighbor cheats on her husband, it practically doesn't affect you. If, for example, he was your dentist and you don't want to get involved in their problems, you just look for a new one. We no longer have such strong ties, and in this era, almost everyone is replaceable.
Now, whether or not you cheat on your partner is more a matter of your own ethics, since, under the law, as long as there is no nuptial agreement, no crime is committed.
