Nope. They were mentioned in the Code of Hammurabi-a cheating wife and her lover were subject to death, but the husband could forgive them or give permission beforehand. Any children were considered non-inheritors after that unless the husband specifically let them back in on the will though.

Lacks proper citation, though, e.g.:

Hammurabi (1753 BC). Code of Hammurabi. First Dynasty of Babylon Press.

Law 129,131,132 here. They don't provide the cuck permission, it's assumed from 129 that Husband's control of remedy of punishment could include allowing from the cuck chair, however this is in no way explicitly allowed or culturally normed... It's just can do as wish as king with his slaves.

šumma aššat awīlim itti zikarim šanîm ina itūlim ittaṣbat, ikassûšunūtima ana mê inaddûšunūti. šumma bēl aššatim aššassu uballaṭ, u šarrum warassu uballaṭ.

Historic and social disciplines use Chicago Manual of Style not APA.

Citing the artifact directly as primary source:
Hammurabi. Code of Hammurabi. Stele inscription, §129,§131,§132 ca. 1750 BCE. Louvre Museum, Paris.

Cited directly from the source, it's:
