May I butt in? Sex between a man and a woman without the consent of the woman's husband is ADULTERY, and with the husband's consent is PROSTITUTION. Either way the woman is on the wrong side of the Stick. Let the National Commission of Women dispute it. Bennet Paes

And even then ... Gusto, let me catch the bull by its tail and say that your question suggestion you don't keep track on the law over this point: QUOTE In Indian law, adultery is defined as sex between a man and a woman without the consent of the woman's husband. The man is prosecutable and can be sentenced for up to five years (even if he himself was unmarried) whereas the married woman cannot be jailed. Men have called the law gender discrimination in that women cannot be prosecuted for adultery and the National Commission of Women has criticized the British era law of being anti-feminist as it treats women as the property of their husbands and has consequentially recommended deletion of the law or reducing it to a civil offense. The Government is yet to act. Extramarital sex without the consent of one's partner can be a valid grounds for monetary penalty on government employees, as ruled by the Central Administrative Tribunal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adultery#Asia ENDQUOTE -- FN +91-832-2409490 or +91-9822122436 [email protected] Books from Goa,1556 http://scr.bi/Goa1556Books Audio recordings (mostly from Goa): http://bit.ly/GoaRecordings
