In India, adultery was previously a criminal offense under Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, in the landmark case Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2018), the Supreme Court of India decriminalized adultery, declaring Section 497 unconstitutional. Therefore, as of now, adultery is no longer a criminal offense, and a husband cheating on his wife cannot be punished under criminal law. However, adultery can still be a ground for divorce under civil laws. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Section 13(1)(i) allows a wife to seek divorce if the husband has committed adultery. Similarly, under other personal laws like the Special Marriage Act and the Indian Divorce Act, adultery is a valid ground for divorce. While no criminal punishment exists, the aggrieved wife can seek civil remedies, including: 1. Divorce: Filing for dissolution of marriage. 2. Alimony/Maintenance: Seeking financial support under Section 125 CrPC or personal laws. 3. Child Custody: Claiming custody of children based on the child's welfare. Thus, while adultery does not attract criminal punishment, it can have significant legal consequences in matrimonial disputes, including divorce and financial liabilities.
