They died to the sin. Not automatically, but it was a conscious decision.
Galatians 5:24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires
They died to sin, and came under Christ's saving grace.
Therefore they are no longer obligated or bound to the law.
There are neither to fear nor promote the law.
Their first husband was the law.
They have now been released from the law.
Their second husband is Jesus, who set them free by grace.
They cannot have two husbands,
meaning they cannot be under the law and under grace at the same time.

You are making this up out out of thin air. You are not using the context. The context is Romans 7. If you can't admit that Paul had the moral law in mind then you are being disingenuous and I have no desire to continue.
The context:
Romans 7:4 So, my brothers, you also died to the law (not to sin as you say) through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.....6 But now, by dying to what once bound us (the law), we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. 7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."
