If your neighbours break into your house to have wild sex, they shouldn't be surprised if they got recorded - but that doesn't make it legal to record it.
Just like when the neighbours break into your house you're not allowed to kill them.
Someone breaking one law does not allow you to break another. That can seem unfair and become conflicting, but is a basic truth across the globe.
Depends where you are.

This husband wasn't allowed to record his wife having sex without her consent.
Where's the line for y'all here? Is he allowed to rape her? Beat her? Torture her? What other crimes is he allowed to commit against her in your opinion?
Velma. You have firmly established that you know how to use a slippery slope and straw man fallacy. We all see your accomplishment. Well done you. If I give you a medal will you stop?

He wasn’t allowed, he was punished.
She forgot there was a camera in her house when she invited her affair partner over. He didn’t post it online, he used it in court. And again (since you like repeating) he was punished.
I'm not one to shut up when I'm told to quiet down.
Are you a bot? Your comments don’t really make a lot of sense and you seem to be deploying them at random. Or is a person turning on their home security camera like, your main beef with this world?
I don't think recording someone having sex without consent is justified regardless of how that individual has emotionally harmed you.
I thought this was a settled view - that abuse isn't justified. You can't hit someone because they hurt your feelings, you can't rape someone because they refused a date, you can't record someone without consent because they cheated on you. Those are separate actions.
If he had controlled himself and only recorded them kissing or otherwise showing the cheating without the sex, he wouldn't have been punished by the courts at all. Only she would have been punished.
