Supreme Court strikes down adultery as an offence: Highlights

The Supreme Court on Thursday scrapped Section 497 (adultery) of the Indian Penal Code calling it unconstitutional. The apex court said that adultery cannot be a criminal offence, but if any aggrieved spouse commits suicide because of life partner's adulterous relation, then if evidence produced, it could be treated as an abetment to suicide.
