Editing Honor Murder (section)

=== Constitutional Court of 1968 ===
The first innovation came from the Constitutional Court, which had sanctioned the unconstitutionality of art. 559 of the Criminal Code, which provided for the punishment of only the wife's adultery and not also of the husband and of the husband's concubinage. The first sentence was followed, at least temporarily, by a bill by the Hon. Oronzo Reale, Minister Keeper, who proposed the abolition of the special provisions on injuries and "a cause of honor", proposals resumed a few months later by a project to revise the penal system entrusted to Giuliano Vassalli. The proposals had remained without effect, both for problems of insufficient duration of the legislatures, and for a certain position of "no dislike" on the part of public opinion.
