In this video, Famous Psychiatrist Dr Shalini shares thoughts over psychological facts over Sabarimala verdict, and Adultery section 497
#Sabarimala : Recently Supreme Court granted women of all age groups entry into Kerala's Sabarimala ayyappan temple, breaking the temple's age-old tradition of restricting menstruating women from entering its premises. The five-judge bench headed by CJI Dipak Misra with Justices RF Nariman, AM Khanwilkar, justice Chandrachud and Justice Indu Malhotra pronounced the verdict, with Malhotra dissenting. #Adultery Also in Another Verdict Supreme Court (SC) said adultery was not a crime as it struck down the colonial-era anti-adultery law as unconstitutional. The law dented the individuality of women and treated them as “chattel of husbands”.

The SC’s five-judge Constitution Bench was unanimous in striking down Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), dealing with the offence of adultery, holding it as manifestly arbitrary, archaic and violative of the rights to equality and equal opportunity to women. Adultery was punishable by a maximum five years in jail or fine or both. A five-judge Bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices R F Nariman, A M Khanwilkar, D Y Chandrachud, and Indu Malhotra said that unequal treatment of women invites the wrath of the Constitution. For Justice Chandrachud, it was the second occasion that he overruled a judgment of his father, former chief justice of India (CJI) Y V Chandrachud. In 1985, the then chief justice had upheld the validity of the adultery law. The son on Thursday said the earlier view cannot be regarded as “correct exposition” of the constitutional position.
