Adultery
Adultery, connivance by the husband-when bars a criminal prosecution-"Connivance", explained Mere passive inaction is not enough for a finding of connivance, but as was said by the House of Lords in Gipps vs. Gipps (1864) 11 HLC 3. "couniving" means "not merely refusing to see an act of adultery but also willfully abstaining from taking any step to prevent adulterous intercourse which from what passed before the husband's eyes, he must reasonably accept, will occur." In Halsbury's Laws of England, Vol. 12, Third Edition, para 589 at page 297, it is stated that connivance is not limited to active conduct. "It includes the case where a spouse acquiesces in the adultery alleged, that is to say, where the spouse is aware that a certain result will follow, if he does nothing and desires the result to come about. On the principle of Volenti non fit injuria, a person cannot complain of act he passively assents to." Ali NawazGardezi Vs. Md. Yusuf (1963) 15 DLR (SC) 9.
