Reply To: Can the severity of a sin be learned from the severity of the punishment?

the gemarah in sotah calls tumas haguf, “tumah kallah” and the “tumah” of a sotah “tumah chamurah”
rashi says, thats because tumas haguf going into th bais hamikdash only gets misah biday shamayim whereas zenus of an aishes ish gets misa.
how does that prove anything?
maybe this is an exception?
after all the first is defiling the bais hamikdash
the second was consensual
