MUMBAI – A 27-year-old Indian woman has approached the Supreme Court claiming her husband’s addiction to porn had ‘ruined’ their marriage, and sought a complete ban on such websites.
The women, a resident of Mumbai, said that because of this habit, her 35-year-old husband has become so “perverted” adding that he is ignoring his day-to-day activities. She said that their marriage is in trouble as he is indifferent to her physical and material needs, reported Hindustan Times.
The petitioner has moved the court through her counsel Kamlesh Vaswani, seeking to become a party to a plea filed by the advocate in 2013 to ban online pornography sites.
After the December 16 gangrape of a 23-year-old in Delhi, Vaswani had moved the apex court, urging it to block porn websites. In 2015, Vaswani succeeded in getting the apex court to pass an interim order blocking 857 porn websites. The order was revoked after five days.

The Supreme Court has been exploring the possibility of banning watching of pornographic material, in any form, at public places and has also sought the view of the government on if it can be made a crime.
However, the Central government said it only favours banning child pornography sites and not going beyond, considering a citizen’s right to privacy, and also because it does not want to do moral policing.
