Hi
IPC 354D: Section 354D of the Indian Penal Code refers to Stalking.
Applicable when a woman is accosted by a man unknown to her or if she is not interested in a person.
This section cannot be applied to married couple.
However it is applicable if the couple are contesting a divorce suit or living separately.
