Question

Divorce filing as wife is cheating

30-Oct-2025 (In Divorce Law)

I came to know my wife is cheating on me. I had discussed the matter with her and laws. She agreed she did a mistake and forcing for forgiveness and mentioning about suicide if I don't forgive. She used to pressurize like this earlier for small fights. I want to file for divorce. I somehow took insta deleted posts from her account. But not sure how much that will help. I am unsure what should I do now

Answer #2

Initial Steps and Legal Advice on Divorce I'm sorry you're going through this difficult situation. Given the circumstances, you have potential grounds for divorce, but you need to act strategically to protect your interests. Immediate Next Steps Consult with a Lawyer: This is the most critical first step. Do not delay. You need to hire a qualified attorney specializing in Divorce Law immediately. They will review all your evidence and guide you through the formal legal process. Gather and Preserve Evidence: Everything you have, including the deleted Instagram posts (if you have copies, screenshots, or metadata), is potential evidence. The lawyer will advise on how to formally collect and present this. Any communication (text, email, recordings if legally permissible in your jurisdiction) related to the admission of cheating or the threats of suicide should also be saved.

Answer #5

In India, divorce laws vary based on personal laws depending on religion. Given your situation: 1. Grounds for divorce: Adultery is a valid ground for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (if you're Hindu). 2. Evidence: Deleted Instagram posts might not serve as strong evidence in court. You may need more substantial proof of infidelity. 3. Emotional manipulation: If your wife has used threats of suicide to pressurize you, document such instances as they might be relevant in court proceedings. You should prioritize your safety and well-being, especially given the mention of suicide threats.
