Approximately 13% to 20% of married women have admitted to cheating, although real numbers may be higher due to underreporting. Rates vary by age, with women in their 60s having a higher rate (around 16%) and women in younger age groups (18-29) reporting similar rates to men (around 11%).
• Overall: Recent studies based on self-reported data show that between 13% and 20% of married women have cheated on their husbands.
• Age is a factor:
• Women in their 60s report the highest rates of infidelity, with one study finding around 16% admitting to cheating.
• In contrast, in the 18-29 age group, married women report rates of infidelity similar to or even slightly higher than men, at about 11%.
• Reasons can vary: Reasons for infidelity can include emotional dissatisfaction, feeling neglected, seeking passion, or even revenge.
• Self-reporting limitations: The true percentage is likely higher because many people are unwilling to admit to infidelity.
• Technology's role: Technology and greater financial independence have made it easier for women to have affairs, and some research suggests the rate of infidelity among women has increased over the last few decades. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
