what are the rights of a women accused of infidelity
In India, a woman cannot be punished for adultery. Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code is a statute that penalizes a male for indulging in a consensual sexual intercourse with a married woman. It could be a ground for divorce for the husband, period. However, if a woman is falsely accused of adultery, she can protect herself from such slander against her. If you could provide me with more details, I would be better equipped to answer your query.
If there is no proof of infidelity you can defend the case saying the allegation is not true, If on the other hand there is proof you can still defend it and leave the burden on the person alleging he or sghe must prove the same. If it is a case of divorce if the wife is not working you can seek for maintenance contest the case till the end may be he can come for a settlement.
