See in this situation you can file a criminal complaint under section 497 IPC against the paramour but remember that you will be able to prove adultery only when you have explicit photos of your wife with her paramour. Along with that you can also file for divorce under section 13 HMA as one of the grounds for divorce under HMA is adultery.
