Your comment seems to be saying that a man who cheats on his wife might get away with it because the wife cannot bring him to the Kohanim to drink the sota waters.

In the days when the Temples stood, there was no population of single women. If a man was cheating on his wife, he was cheating with someone else’s wife. When that wife was given the sota waters, the man would also be killed.

I don’t understand your sentence and how it’s relevant:

In any case, there was no “death sentence ” by a human court.

There were no human courts – everything was adjudicated according to halachah.

Long story short – Hashem’s justice is perfect and He has an infinite number of ways to carry it out.

If by “death penalty” you mean drinking the sotah waters, then yes, the sotah waters were only given to test women.

But, that doesn’t tie Hashem’s hands –

Either way, Divine Justice would be served to both men and women. That’s the point of the article – that Divine Justice is perfect, unlike human justice:
God’s justice holds everyone accountable. It’s the only way to ensure a righteous world.

Just an additional halachic note. In Judaism, a man who cheats on his wife is not given the death penalty. The death penalty is for a woman adulteress, as well as her lover.

I also believe that that is the case where she denies her wrongdoing which later turns out to be proven. If she admits her act, her husband is obligated to divorce her, but she is not liable for death.

In any case, there was no “death sentence ” by a human court. She would drink something with God’s name inscribed, and if she was guilty, this would poison her
If she wasn’t poisoned, this was considered divine evidence that she was innocent.
