It has been argued before Mumbai High court that sex between consenting adults of opposite gender is not unlawful and adultery is not a crime.

However right bethe opinion, law is what this is. Adultery is an offence under I.P.C. and a man can be chargesheeted. This is paradoxical as woman cannot be booked under the law. A man can sue another man but a woman cannot sue another woman for adulterous relation with her husband. Even then till law is changed, the provisions of law will stand as these are. .

It has been argued that adultery law considers woman as property of her husband. That is why husband of a woman alone has the right to complain against another man indulging in exptra marital relation with his wife. A woman cannot be sued. also a woman cannot complain against another woman having extramarital relations with her husband.

It may be recalled that same argument was given in the article in Boddunan on gender Equality.

Good comment. It is absurd that a man can be punished but a woman cannot be for same act. The Government should change adulterly law and bring in gender equality.
