Section 151 of IEA : Section 151: Indecent and scandalous questions.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

During a trial for theft, the defense attorney asks the victim about their sexual history, implying that their character might be questionable and thus their testimony unreliable. The prosecutor objects, arguing that the question is indecent and has no relevance to the theft case. The judge agrees and forbids the question, stating that the victim's sexual history has no bearing on whether the theft occurred.

Example 2:

In a defamation case, the plaintiff is being cross-examined by the defense attorney. The attorney starts asking the plaintiff about their past involvement in unrelated criminal activities to tarnish their reputation. The plaintiff's lawyer objects, claiming these questions are scandalous and irrelevant to the defamation case. The judge sustains the objection, ruling that the questions are not necessary to determine the facts in issue regarding the defamation claim.
