India's highest court has ruled that adultery is no longer a crime in the country, striking down a law that was over 150-years old.
The law punished any man who has an affair with a woman 'without the consent' of her husband, with five years in jail. There was no punishment for the woman, who is seen as the victim and the property of her husband.
