The wife's whose husband is in an extra marital affair, you have “no legal remedy” which can establish criminal liability for his disloyalty so there is no punishment. Not even the woman with whom your husband establishes a sexual relationship outside the marriage can be prosecuted under the Cr.p.c but if she is married then your husband can be held liable adultery under the Indian penal code section 497. COURT VIEW The Hon’ble Supreme Court has opined this as a favorable discrimination towards women, as the law doesn’t envisage punishment for any of the spouses involved but additionally, not even for a woman outsider. Only an outsider man to the marriage is to be punished under Indian adultery law. It is for this favorable discrimination, the section has defeated the challenges questioning its constitutional validity (valid Article 15(3) of the Indian Constitution) in the apex court. The statute with provision are stated below. The Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and the Special Marriage Act, 1954 Divorce: The Hindu Marriage Act (HMA) under Section 13(1)(i) and the Special Marriage Act (SMA) under section 27(1)(a) have mentioned in a very precise manner, that any marriage may be dissolved by a decree of divorce on filing of a petition by you on the ground that your husband or wife has, after the solemnization of the marriage had voluntary sexual intercourse with any person other than you It cannot be criminally liable but it establishes a ground for divorce.
