Infidelity kills

There is this weird self sufficient island away from our nice world. There's a custom in this island which requires a woman to kill her husband the morning after she discovers that he's having an affair with another woman.

It also happens that every woman KNOWS whether EVERY other man is having an affair or not except her own husband. The Qeer thing is they are NOT suppose to talk to each other about this point. And ofcourse some men in the island ARE having affairs with the wives of other men. So life in this island goes on peacefully since no woman can know for sure that her own husband is cheating on her. Unfortunately, an Oracle visits the island one day and proclaims that at least one man in this island is having an affair.

Question: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS ?

* The interesting thing about this problem is on a first reading the Oracle's info no useful information in the island that has more than one unfaithful man
