Legal action for committing adultery
08-Feb-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Can the wife send husband to jail on adultery charge.
There is no provision in the law for a woman to file a complaint against her adulterous husband. If a married man commits adultery with an unmarried woman or a widow or with a married woman with the consent of her husband, his wife is not regarded as an aggrieved party and she is not permitted to make any official grievance against her husband. Sec 497 IPC describes adultery. Only the husband of the treacherous woman can file complainant.
