SC quashes Section 497, says ‘Adultery not a criminal offence’
Supreme Court on Thursday pronounced its judgment on constitutional validity of penal provision of adultery and ruled that “Adultery can be treated as civil wrong for dissolution of marriage, but not criminal offence”. While pronouncing its judgment, the apex court said “Equality is the governing principle of a system. Husband is not the master of the wife”.
The court further said that “There can’t be any social license which destroys a home”. The apex court’s five-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said the beauty of the Constitution is that it includes “the I, me and you”.
