The court will examine two aspects of the penal provision. One, why does Section 497 treat the man as the adulterer and the married woman as a victim? Two, the offence of adultery ceases the moment it is established that the husband connived or consented to the adulterous act. So, is a married woman the “property” of her husband, a passive object without a mind of her own?

Recently SC observed is a rape case victim's 'No' may not always mean 'No'!

But in adultery women are victims inspite of their 'Yes' Looks that 'Yes' may not always mean 'Yes' !

Supreme Court refers to Constitution bench plea against penal law on adultery


Section 497 of the 158-year-old IPC says: whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both. In such case the wife shall not be punishable as an abettor

The woman will never be the abettor. The creation is such that one has to be on top and one has to be at bottom. Naturally one at the bottom will always be the oppressed and the one on top will always be the oppressor. So the oppressed will have a right to affirmative action and positive discrimination. Will be eminently eligible for a bonus by way of reservation until the one at bottom gets on top. You all know what I am talking about -- the reservation.
 
Now women are on top ! It's all reversed and no more reserved Better performer goes to Top You all know what I am talking about - any job you are in!
