Adultery Grounds For Divorce But Can't Be A Crime, Says Chief Justice

The 150-year-old adultery law is "arbitrary", the Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said today. He added that "there cannot be a shadow of doubt" that it is a ground for divorce. "Any law which affects individual dignity, equity of women in a civilised society invites the wrath of the Constitution," the Chief Justice said, reading out the Supreme Court's verdict on the adultery law, which punishes only the man for an affair, treating women as "property".
