Answer #1

If a husband is involved in an extramarital affair, you can file for divorce, citing adultery as a ground. Though adultery is no longer a criminal offense in India, it can still be used as evidence of mental cruelty. Under Dv act you can seek protection orders, residence rights, and monetary relief. If necessary, you can also claim maintenance.
