ABSTRACT In India, adultery has been a criminal violation for the past 150 years. If a man has sexual relations with a married lady without first obtaining her partner's permission, he has committed an infraction. The idea of adultery is emphasized throughout the study of India. At the beginning of the paper, there is a summary of the idea that is presented. In the second part of the article, an in-depth investigation of the Indian Penal Code's Article 497, which is devoted to the transgression of adultery, is presented. Thirdly, the article discusses the history of adultery as well as the nations where it has been deemed an offence as well as the countries where it is still followed today. The paper addresses the fundamental issues against adultery in its fourth and final sections. It focuses on how the Indian Constitution's provisions have been challenged by the offence of adultery. In addition to this, it focuses on a variety of instances, particularly the one known as Joseph Shine vs. Union of India, which determined that adultery is a violation of the constitution. And last, the article concludes and emphasizes how the judge's decision in 2017 found adultery to violate the Constitution.
