First of all, a hindu woman and a muslim man cannot marry under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 in India. The Hindu Marriage Act applies specifically to marriages between two Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, or Sikhs. For interfaith marriages between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 would be applicable.

In a marriage between a Hindu woman and a Muslim man, if the husband is having an extramarital affair, the wife has several options available to stop her husband from having an extramarital affair. These options include:

  1. Counselling and Reconciliation: The couple may choose to seek professional counselling to address the issues in their marriage and attempt to reconcile their differences.

  2. Legal Action for Divorce: If reconciliation is not feasible or the extramarital affair has caused irreparable damage to the relationship, the wife may choose to file for divorce. She can file for divorce on grounds of adultery and cruelty under the Special Marriage Act, 1954.

  3. Maintenance and Alimony: The wife can also seek financial support, known as maintenance or alimony, from her husband during and after the divorce proceedings. The amount and duration of maintenance depend on factors such as the husband's income, the wife's financial needs, the lifestyle maintained during the marriage, and other relevant circumstances.
