Document background
The Marriage Infidelity Contract serves as a voluntary agreement between married spouses in India who wish to establish clear boundaries and consequences regarding fidelity in their marriage. Following the 2018 Supreme Court decision decriminalizing adultery, couples have sought private contractual arrangements to address concerns about infidelity. This document provides a framework for defining what constitutes infidelity, establishing procedures for addressing suspected breaches, and outlining consequences, while respecting both Indian personal laws and constitutional rights. It's particularly relevant for couples seeking additional clarity and security in their marriage, those in high-profile positions, or those with significant assets to protect. The agreement must be carefully drafted to ensure it remains within the bounds of public policy and enforceability under Indian contract law.
