Sure. Few businesses would want to know or would care or would fire someone for that. But certainly they have the right. A business owner may think it's indicative of moral character or or good sense or that it would harm their businesses reputation to employ someone known to have been an adulterer.

Court says people who commit adultery can be fired even in Texas. In most states the law is "Employment at will" An employee can be terminated at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. A job is no an entitlement, it is a contract between employee and employer. Either party can terminate it and neither can force the other to continue against their will. If you are willing to limit when an employer can terminate the arrangement are you also willing to limit when the employee can? Shall we bring back indentured servitude?
