I don’t think real life laws, or lack of, is the issue in the Nick/Adalind/baby storyline. It’s about action, reaction, and the motivations behind them.
Adalind’s attempt on Marie was clearly her willingness to kill for personal gain. Renard is equally accountable as the behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Adalind using a potion on Hank and having sex with him is fraud and rape, and knowing that he would die again shows her willingness to kill for personal gain. And again, Renard is equally accountable as the behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Adalind using the cat-scratch spell on Juliette was pure revenge.
Adalind having sex with Nick to take his Grimm was not compelled by the same motivation as the earlier acts. She had been told Viktor had her baby, and then told she could only see her baby if she took Nick’s Grimm. Adalind did not have sex with Nick by choice. The storyline was written that the spell could only be performed via sex. If the storyline had been written that the spell required her to hold Nick’s head under water, she would have figured out a way to make that happen.
The group kidnapping a baby for their own safety is no less a crime/sin regardless of their motivation. Being labeled the good guys doesn’t change that it was an act compelled by personal gain.
For me, Renard pretending to be Nick and having sex with Adalind depends on his motivation. If it was to destroy Nick/Adalind or blackmail Adalind into working with him, etc. then yes, it’s a crime/sin. But if Nick and Adalind took Diana away from him then Renard is as justified as Adalind was in S3.
Consider - If Adalind raped Nick then it stands to reason that Eve raped Rachael. If Adalind’s motivation of getting her baby back doesn’t justify her having fraudulent sex with Nick, should Eve wanting BC information justify her having fraudulent sex with Rachael?
