Adultery - as you said the basic issue in Islam (and other religions as well) regarding the sinful act of adultery is mercy and not punishment. In Christianity there is also the famous story of the woman taken in adultery and men want to stone her then Jesus delivers the judgment that attacks the heart of the hypocrisy ‘’ Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her’’ (John 8:9). ‘’ But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him’’ (John 8:10). So, the story obviously tells that the men who assembled to stone the woman were all guilty of the same sin or worse crimes. And tells that before judging others and punishing them we have to look first to our own selves and see what sins and mistakes we did in life. Of course if everyone did this we will be living in a Utopia or an ideal world. But the real life is full of hypocrites and evils.
The old saying says (It takes two to tango) which means the crime of adultery is committed in pairs, but in our society and other Moslems world only women had to pay for their sins and must be punished. The legal punishment is Islam as well as other religions is equal for men and women, but the social hypocrisy in our society over history had lead to a double stand when considering sin committed by men versus sin committed by women. Our society tended to be more permissive towards men forgiving them for sins not forgive able when women do them. I would understand that a man who did not commit an adultery to demand a virgin for marriage- because this would be an honest requirement and consistency between belief and practice; otherwise, it will just be a double stand and hypocrisy.
