no punishment as adultery after the Supreme court judgement is no more an offence. His legal degree cannot be cancelled on this ground. this is not such a ground to take away legal qualification of a person. U can file for divorce or judicial separation.

1. Adultery (Section 497 IPC) – Decriminalized Adultery was earlier punishable under Section 497 of the IPC, but the Supreme Court in Joseph Shine v. Union of India (2018) decriminalized adultery. Currently, it is no longer a criminal offense, so no imprisonment or direct punishment can be given to a husband for cheating. 2. Grounds for Divorce If a husband cheats on his wife, it can be a ground for divorce under: Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 – Section 13(1) (Adultery and Cruelty) Special Marriage Act, 1954 Indian Divorce Act, 1869 (for Christians) The wife can file for divorce on the grounds of adultery and seek: Alimony/Maintenance under Section 125 CrPC Custody of children under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 3. Degree Cancellation (Education Degree) A husband’s educational degree cannot be canceled due to cheating on his wife. Degrees are academic achievements and unrelated to personal behavior. 4. Child Custody and Maintenance The wife can seek custody and child support. The husband is obligated to provide financial support for his children under Section 125 CrPC and other personal laws. adv gurmeet singh

Adultery is no more a criminal offence, but one can file divorce for the same reason and can obtain a decree of divorce. Legal degree can be cancelled only for professional misconduct and that too when proved guilty
