Is there forgiveness for adultery?

as far as i know, according to islam forgiveness for adultery must first be asked from the husband/wife by both the adulterers and after this is done they should ask Allah (swt) to forgive them. if it’s the wife who commited adultery then she and the man with whom she did, should go ask forgiveness from the husband. if the husband decides to forgive them, good…but if he doesnt then he has every right to punish them in whatever way he wants to..or he could leave it on Allah ta’ala to punish them.
so in short you’ll only be forgiven by Allah(swt) if you’ve got it from your nikkah-fied partner.

What? I have never heard of that.
And what if the man cheats? does he ask for forgiveness from his wife?

It’s possible to feel guilty and repent for a sin without ever having to confess to anyone about it.

so religiously, yes I believe there is forgiveness. Personally…I hope I would never find myself in that situation but I would probably forgive.
