    The 

    Supreme Court on Thursday struck down as unconstitutional the 158-year-old


    Section 497 of IPC that punished a married man for the offence of adultery if he had
    sexual relations with a married woman "without the consent or connivance of her
    husband", but said adultery could continue to be a ground for divorce.
