Section 497 of IPC states that, "Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivanc of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery.
Also, adultery does not necessarily mean that your spouse had sexual intercourse, it could also mean you were sexually intimate. Therefore, most courts do not require proof of the adulterous act itself. Instead, most courts require you to prove: First, that your spouse had a disposition to commit adultery.

Maximum sentence is five years or fine or both.

Hi first of all there should be enough proof The wife should have that the husband is been involved in all where as she can start collecting all the proof against her husband and tell the court and show it and if the wife doesn’t want to stay with the husband then she has other options also with her where she can fil for divorce and all
She can also tell the court about The activisties of the husband and all
