Every corner of the world has its own rules and regulations for maintaining relationships. But do you know that there is a city where infidelity with a partner is not considered a crime? Yes, if you do not remain honest in your relationship in this city, then you will not face any legal action.

New York has finally abolished the law criminalizing adultery, making major changes to the 116-year-old divorce law. On November 22, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed the law repealing and abolished it. Under this law, made in 1907, a married man could be jailed for up to three months if found guilty of infidelity. However, this law was extremely rarely used and was considered irrelevant for a long time.

Why did the governor do this?

Commenting on the decision, Governor Kathy Hochul said, "However, I am living a happy married life myself and have had a beautiful journey of 40 years with my husband. It is a bit ironic to me that I am signing a bill decriminalising adultery. But I understand that people's relationships are complicated. These matters should be resolved individually instead of going to courts. It's time to scrap this archaic and redundant law.

New York's law first came into force in 1907, under which a person could be convicted of having sex with someone else when he or the other person was already married. According to the New York Times report, just weeks after the law came into force, it was first used against a married man and 25-year-old woman.

However, in the last few decades, the number of people convicted under this law has been very low. There was talk of abolishing this law in the 1960s too, but some leaders believed that abolishing it would seem that the state was encouraging extramarital affairs. This judgment is not only a step towards repealing archaic and irrelevant laws, but it also gives priority to personal freedom.
