The Centre recently moved a plea seeking clarification on an earlier Supreme Court order decriminalising adultery, with the intention of retaining adultery as a crime in the armed forces.

The Centre in its plea said that when jawans and officers are posted in inhospitable areas, their families are taken care of at base camp by field unit officers, according to a Times of India report. “Those posted in forward areas should not harbour any misgiving about adulterous or promiscuous activity by caring officers,” the report added, citing the plea.
