51. Would it make a difference?

I'm not a student of sharia law and I don't know. First, if the man contributed to the woman's adultery and the estrangement of affections of the woman from her own family, why wouldn't the man be seen as complicit? If the man was also married, would he also be stoned? I don't think I've ever heard of a man being stoned, but then I'm not a follower of this type of law.
