The Supreme Court in its recent judgement scrapped section 497 of IPC dealing with .................. .
Answer: B
Section 497 dealt with Adultery.
In Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2018), a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court struck down Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code, which made adultery an offence by a man with another man's wife, as violating Articles 14, 15 and 21. The court held it treated a wife as her husband's property; adultery remains a civil ground for divorce.
Honour killings, child sexual abuse and workplace harassment are dealt with under other provisions; none was the subject of Section 497.
