The folly of re-criminalizing adultery - Economic and Political Weekly - 58(47). Nov 25, 2023: p.10-12

Notwithstanding the Supreme Court of India’s judgment decriminalising the offence of adultery in the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Parliamentary Standing Committee examining the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, 2023 has demanded its reintroduction as a criminal offence. Not only is the move regressive, but it also completely misunderstands the reason why the Supreme Court deemed the criminalisation of adultery unconstitutional.- Reproduced
