Condemnation of Decriminalization of Adultery in India: An Analysis of Joseph Shine v. Union of India

Adultery is an act which indulges any sort of consensual sexual relationship between a married individual and an individual who isn't their companion. Generally adultery implies unified sexual intercourse with the wife of another man. It mainly focuses on patriarchy and male toxic masculinity. Adultery in India treats a woman as a victim who has been enticed by a man to do such an act and not as an offender. This case commentary attempts to justify the contentions against Decriminalization of Adultery and how it can demolish the sanctity and the institution of marriage.
