Court could punish errant wives

India's adultery laws could soon be changed to make cheating wives punishable in an attempt by the government to make both s*xes equal in the eyes of the law.

A government committee on legal reforms has recommended that both men and women be tried for adultery and the government has agreed to the proposal.

On the face of it, making the law gender-neutral appears laudable. The reality is more complex.

At the moment, only a man can be tried on a criminal charge for sleeping with another man's wife and that too only if the husband wishes to prosecute him.
