Abstract

The Constitutionality of Adultery Law has been challenged in Supreme Court at the time of writing of this paper. The attempt has been to justify as to whether the adultery law, which is considered to be too medieval ought to be declared ultra-vires or it should remain as a provision in the law books. Attempt has been to make a proper analysis over this law so as to enable the Judiciary and the Legislature with certain observations which holds significance in relation to this area. The case study methodology has been adopted in understanding the perspective of the Court. The researcher finds that the adultery law in present form is archaic and treats women as a chattel of her husband. Nevertheless it's also found that should adultery law be given requisite amendments as suggested in main manuscript, then it would certain benefit the public welfare and specifically the emancipation of the women class.
