BDF cites the use of MH as a way if indicating exception. Also, EPI used
with the dative often has the sense of "on the basis of". Combined with the
negative particle, I would think that an acceptable translation would be
"not on the basis of" adultery, which is a more literal way to say "except
for".
 I'll be interested to see the Big Greek responses to your question.
