Indra, the King of the Devas,taking the form of Sage Gautama, enjoyed conjugal pleasures with Gautama's wife,Ahalya.
The Sage cursed her to turn into a Stone,and she regained her form when Lord Ram's feet touched her, when Ram was traveling with Sage Viswamitra.
The Sage also cursed Indra to have his whole body be splattered with Female Genital Organ.
I have not been able to find a clear-cut definition of chastity of women relating to Physical interaction in the Vedas.
Corrections, inputs are welcome.
Smritis, especially the Manu Smriti is eloquent in describing the Adultery by men and the punishment ot be meted out to them, the need to protect women
and how society will disintegrate because of a woman being not Chaste.
However I have not been able to locate the definition of Adultery by women specifically.
One finds the instance of Jamadagni, father of Parashurama, asking Parasuram to cut off his mother Renuka's head.
