, 5 news, a view

The Madras High Court has ruled that wives watching pornography is not grounds for divorce, adding that women retain the right to masturbate and do not surrender their sexual autonomy once they marry.

Wednesday's ruling in Tamil Nadu came after a man appealed the decision of a lower court that refused to grant him a divorce.

His case rested on several acts of alleged cruelty by his spouse, including what he claimed was her addiction to masturbating while watching pornography.
