In the Supreme Court, the Constitution Bench of five judges, on Thursday, deciding the verdict of the Indian Condemning Code of Conduct (IPC) on 497, the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Deepak Mishra said, "This crime is not going to happen needed." The Supreme Court has canceled the 158-year-old anti-incarnation law and said that there is no crime in the adultery. The court said that there is no doubt that it can be the basis of divorce, but this law affects the right of women to live. The court said that the husband is not the owner of the woman and whatever arrangement contrasts or discriminated against the dignity of the woman, she invites the wrath of the Constitution. The provision that treats women with disabilities is unconstitutional. The court said that this law disrespects woman's desire and sexual challenge. The Chief Justice said that if a spouse becomes selfish because of adultery, and if this is proven in court then a case of suicidal tenderness will prevail. The court said that men are always seductive, women are always victims - this is not the case anymore.
The Supreme Court canceled the adultery law, the Constitution Bench said: "This is not a crime
What is section 497
Under Section 497 of the IPC, if a married man makes a relationship with another married woman, then this is a crime. But there is no crime against a married woman. The most important thing in this section is that the married woman's husband can not even register a case against his wife. In this case, the complainant, the wife of a man who has a relationship with a married woman, can file a complaint.
Under this law, if convicted, the culprit can be punished for a maximum of five years. Complaint is not made in any police station but the complaint is made by the magistrate and the evidence is presented to the court.
The central government supported the Section 497 of the IPC. The central government said that the Supreme Court also said that Jarata is a threat to the marriage institute and it also affects the families.
- On behalf of the Central Government, ASG Pinky Annad had said that the law should look into the development and change in its society, not from the perspective of Western society.
