The complete exclusion of extra- marital sex depends upon religious
premises that are not likely to be normative for a lot of people.


Not entirely. Also on basic contract law. Marriage is a contract. If our contract says that neither of us will have extramarital sex, as many marriage vows do, then doing so is a breach of contract. Basic dishonesty.

Of course, we can agree to have an open marriage. But extramarital sex without the prior agreement of the other person that it's okay to do so is dishonest, fraudulent, and a breach of contract, which in my book are pretty good definitions of illicit.
