Adultery is no more a criminal office as declared by Hon'ble supreme court but it can be a ground for divorce under section 13(1) (i) in Hindu Marriage Act.
They can make you as second party in the case .. and you will also get served with the court summons .
You need to file your reply as well in the court of law.
It can harm your image only but now there is no punishment for Adultery

Dear client,
You need not to worry for that case of Adultery which has been abolished recently, by S.C. Also If he 8s interested with you and his spouse has moved for divorce filling at court, and you are too interested then well and good.
You talk to his sister in law that you will give evidence that you both are shaving affair. That will help rather getting divorce .
But for this you both have to think priority for go together in life.
You may contact me from this platform for further legal advice and guidance.
Thanks.

Adultery has been declared unconstitutional and hence the penal offence has been struck down by the Supreme Court very recently. But since her wife and her sister has the conversation history of your sexting, the presumption will off course be that you both may have been physically involved. The point being, although, adultery has been declared unconstitutional and decriminalised but yet, it’s a ground for divorce exercised by the aggrieved person.
