'Woman considered husband's property ... ': With Draupadi warning, Delhi HC refuses action on man's adultery plea against wife's lover

IndiaTimes Friday, 18 April 2025
The Delhi High Court discharged a man in an adultery case, referencing the Mahabharat to highlight the patriarchal roots of the now-defunct adultery law. Justice Neena Bansal Krishna emphasized the Supreme Court's 2018 judgment decriminalizing adultery, stating that the law treated women as property. The court quashed the complaint, asserting that the outdated notion of marital ownership over women is unconstitutional.
