My wife is having an affair with my cousin


23-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My wife is having an affair with my cousin. I have confronted her many times, but it starts all over again. I have confronted my cousin also, but he denies. I have all the documentary evidence which proves that he has been hitting on my wife. As our family is closely bonded, Ijust wish to scare him with a legal notice maintaining anonymity as he actively stalks other woman on social media as well. How can I get rid of him without distrubing the family harmony? Anything i do, will result in a fight with my wife and she has become a rebel now. Me, my kids are suffeering the mental agony. What to do? Is there a way to send a warning letter, mantaining anonymity?

Yes you may proceed the legal way. You may file for divorce and custody as per your requirement. You can also approach the police for mental harassment caused.

A five-judge Constitution Bench, led by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, in four separate but concurring opinions on Thursday held that adultery is not a crime and struck it off the Indian Penal Code.

Chief Justice Misra, in an opinion for himself and Justice A.M. Khanwilkar, observed that Section 497 (adultery) of the Code “commands” married couples to remain loyal to each other.

A matter of choice

Two individuals may part if one cheats, but to attach criminality to infidelity is going too far, the Chief Justice observed. Besides, there is no data to back claims that abolition of adultery as a crime would result in “chaos in sexual morality” or an increase of divorce.
