Supreme Court<\/strong>: Adultery is no longer a crime in India, Supreme Court strikes down section 497.<\/p>\n

Justice Rohinton Nariman, who authored his own judgment, has concurred with CJI Dipak Misra and Justice AM Khanwilkar. So now a majority opinion on the five-judge bench has held Section 497, which makes adultery a criminal offense, to be unconstitutional and violative of the right to equality.<\/p>\n

Justice DY Chandrachud said that autonomy is intrinsic in dignified human existence and Section 497 denudes women from making choice and held adultery as a relic of past.<\/p>\n

A man having sexual intercourse with a married woman is not a crime.<\/p>\n

Man being the seducer and women being the victim no longer exits. Women living under the shadow of husbands has gone.<\/p>\n

Section 497 is a clear violation of fundamental rights granted in Constitution<\/p>\n
