Adultery

The Supreme Court ruled that interim maintenance cannot be denied on mere adultery allegations and requires clear, convincing evidence.

A division bench comprising Justice Rajiv Shakdhar and Justice Amit Bansal maintained that the child was conceived during the period when the couple cohabited as husband and wife.

The proposed changes are notable. Regarding adultery, the committee is expected to suggest reinstating the criminalization of adultery, which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2018.
