Issues during Divorce proceedings and False 498A case legal issue


22-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Wife filed false divorce case after 20 months of marriage. I contested the divorce. Its been more than 1 year of separation and more than 1 year since wife filed for divorce. Divorce case is currently ongoing (just had the evidence submission by wife). I recently started dating a girl from office for 3 months. This girl is already divorced. But we broke up. Now this girl plans to join forces with my wife against me. Below are my questions : Q1) What additional legal case be brought against me for this affair ? This will NOT be adultery as per IPC 497. Q2) Since the divorce case does not mention about the affair till evidence submission stage by my wife, can this be added later ? Q3) Since this affair happened just 3 months back, after more than 1 year of separation, and 1 year after the divorce proceedings were filed by my wife, what all issues can occur ? Will this be considered valid, and help my wife's case ? Q4) Will this have any implications on other case like false 498-A.

Sir, the other girl whom u dated can file a domestic violence/ fraud against you and even she can support the divorce case pending before the court of law, your wife can file charges of adultery against you, and it if the other lady helps her in evidence against you, and the result of case might be against you.consult your advocate and take precautions.

1.Till the divorce decree pass by the court both you and your wife are considered legally husband and wife.
2. Your affair with an another
girl will affect on your case and your (husnand wife) relationship, this may be lead an additional case against you for an adultery (one of the ground for divorce).
3. If your girlfriend put hands together with with your wife, then they would have strong case on their hands and your wife can produce it for further evidence.
