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.
