Dear Russian citizen, You have not broken any law. Any one or any lady can live with any unmarried or married person in India. Your relation with him though un-ethical shall help him get the divorce in lesser time.

As per the Indian Penal Code, he has committed the offence of adultery. Women are not yet punishable for adulterly yet.
Secondly, the fact that he is lives away from his wife does not permit him to consummate another relationship.

You need to get the decree soon and then you may stay with him. However, what is pertinent to note that if his wife has filed for restitution of conjugal rights and if she finds out that you both are in a relationship, it makes your divorce case difficult.

So tread lightly. Feel free to contact me for legal advise and what further can be done.
