Supreme Court verdict on adultery: Five-judge bench strikes down anti-adultery law with riders
The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down the 158-year-old law which made adultery a punishable offence, but with conditions. In its judgement, the five-judge bench said that while adultery can be a basis for divorce, it is not an illegal offence unless it attracts the scope of Section 306 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC.
