The 497 Section of the Indian Penal Code, which prohibits only men engaging in adulterous relationship

Both male and female can not be punished. Sexual relationship is the choice of two. The Chief Justice said that it was not criminal offense until nobody committed suicide

Even if the court confirms that the adulterous relationship was not fault. In cultural point of view, it will break the Indian culture and brings in foreign culture to nation and breaks our traditional marriage regulations of one man for one woman

So such kind of mistakes will be reduced only if psychological changes occur
