Adultery and Society

Criminal Justice Policy draft says that adultery should be treated as a social
rather than a criminal offence. Do you think that this draft is good for society?

In a free society why should adultery be a crime? I think the government should focus on more important issues. Parents, society, communities, and good education should teach people appropriate moral values. However, at the end of the day no one can enforce it.

Oh, so we are left with no other serious issue other than adultery??

Does that provide more liberty to indulge in adultery?

If at all adultery is an offence ..it is an social one ..hardly criminal ..unless there is physical abuse associated .. should be handled on an individual basis ..certainly should not be encouraged !!

By doing so arent they encouraging adultery? Anycase an offence is an offence...irrespective of whether it is social or criminal! And surely steps shd be taken to set it right.

It is basically a social problem.But marriage is not mockery.adultery kills the partner emotionally, cripple the self confidence and leaves a permanent scar. In India, men takes wives for granted.This might give them a licence commit adultary without fear.No, we are not ready yet. it is still a crime.

Adultery is breach of contract, trust and covenant between two individuals. It is akin to cheating, forgery and therefore should be treated as such. It should continue to be criminal offense.

Hi, You know what we ppl are the biggest Hypocrites , we believe or do something and say something, dont understand wby it is like this . Ppl who say its is social issue generally are the ones doing it at ground level . Criminal offence - No way ..whats wrong in doing a thing by which we feel happy about it . I tell you we take it as crime or social taboo because of the ppl we have around .Moreover there is nothing wrong or right about anything it is all relative and person dependent . If this issue have been raised in other part of the word there would have been no fuss about it and infct ppl have ignored something as foolish as this . So till the time ur happy and its for the good i dont see anything wrong in it . It shud not be criminal offence at all and as for social thing ..its complicated to discuss as depends where we live and what kind of ppl we have around .

Agree with the new policy draft.. This also highlights the need to amend more such old and outdated laws..

adultry is as bad as any other bad habit...but effects are more devastating..still it remains only a social problem.With changing lifestyles..it is soon going to cease being even that because we are developing tolerance and acceptance in the same way as getting desensitised..
