The Supreme Court made it clear that there is no rational
basis in the adultery law to punish only the man, treating him as an accused
and not the woman by treating her as a victim when both the partners derive
equal benefit. The court made this initial observation during the course of
hearing of petitions challenging the validity of IPC Section 497 punishing only
the man in adultery cases. The bench
said that man and woman are equally responsible for preserving the sanctity of
marriage. The advancing of arguments would resume on August 7.
