To Radagast---
This is what I have found.
1 Corinthians 7 (Young's Literal Translation)
2 and because of the
whoredom let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her proper husband;
harlot·dom (hôr
d
m, h

-)
n. 1. The practice of accepting payment in exchange for sexual relations; prostitution
Even the word Fornicate has a latin root of FORNIX- which was an archway where prostitutes did thier work.
It is a common belief that the
origin of the word derives from Latin. The word
fornix means "an archway" or "vault" and it became a common
euphemism for a brothel as
prostitutes could be solicited in the vaults beneath
Rome. More directly,
fornicatio means "done in the archway," perhaps a reference to prostitution.
The first recorded use of the noun in its modern meaning was in 1303 AD, with the verb
fornicate first recorded around 250 years later.

In the
English translations of the Bible the Greek term πορνεία (
porneia) has given rise to some dispute. The traditional translation of the term into
English has been
fornication,
[3] but has also been translated as
whoredom.
[4] More recent translations have preferred the alternate translation of
sexual immorality or simply
immorality.

What I get from Scripture is dont act like a harlot, be one, or see one. Whoremongering I would say is at the level of promiscious behavior. Seek for committed relation with the person you want to spend your life with and souls are tied through sex. I dont agree that the man-made tradition of marriage is necessary for one to be married in god's eyes.
What about Deutronomy which verse? I am curious.
