⚖️ What the Law Says About Cheating in Relationships:
🔹 As per the 2018 Supreme Court ruling, adultery (Section 497 IPC) is no longer a criminal offence.
🔹 BUT, cheating in relationships may amount to:
✅ Mental cruelty – for divorce or domestic abuse under Section 498A IPC
✅ Fraud or breach of trust – especially where money, promises of marriage, or cohabitation were involved
✅ Emotional or financial exploitation – may lead to civil compensation suits
😂 “Till betrayal do us part” might not be romantic, but it’s legally interesting! 🧠❤️
