Married man having an extra marrital affair or maintaining live in relation with another lady is a moral wrong and not a legal wrong so no legal action against him for that sort of thing. However, wife may file domestic violence on the base of it or may proceed for divorce on ita ground.

A woman who is not married and a man who is married can live together in a relationship. However, neither of the parties should be minors. They must have the capacity to consent and be aware of their living conditions. A relationship is different from being married.
