Hello, my uncle wants to file a divorce as his wife is having extramarital affairs with couple of guys. And she has been caught red handed several times as well. She even gifted her paramours with her jewels gifted by my uncle to her. Can he file a divorce without paying her maintenance? They have three children and my aunt doesn't earn anything.

In the following cases the plea of adultery has been upheld by courts:
(a) Wife had been absenting herself from her house for some times and seen in the company of a stranger to the family of her husband without reasonable explanation or any explanation.

(b) Unrelated person found alone with wife after midnight in her bedroom in actual physical juxtaposition.

(c) Child born beyond the period of twelve months after the cessation of marital consortium between the spouses.

(d) Evidence on post-suit adultery is admissible to prove and explain other evidence given in the case and to show the character and quality of the previous acts.

(e) Paramour's letters indicating facts of illicit relationship.

(f) Admission of adultery by wife through letters.

(g) Testimony of disinterested witnesses to the effect that they had seen the respondent sleeping together with another person in nights is sufficient to prove adultery.

(h) A solitary instance of voluntary sexual intercourse by wife with other person is enough.

आपके अंकल की विधिवत पत्नीि होने के नाते आपके अंकल से वह भरण पोषण प्राप्ता करने की अधिकारिणी है तथा कानून भी उसके साथ है एवं वह खुद कोई आय अर्जित नहीं करती है तो आपको भरण पोषण तो देना होना लेकिन आप उसकी जारकर्म में न्य स्तर होने बाबत प्रमाण प्रस्तुरत करें तो आपको फायदा मिलेगा
