Hi,
After going through your query it is understood that your section 13 HMA petition seeking divorce is pending adjudication. During the subsistence of marriage which is still in place your wife cannot marry again or stay in live in relationship. The law has been struck down so far criminality is concerned

There is a difference between criminal law and personal law. Even though I would like to know the case in detail, but on the basis of information provided, if she is living in adultery, and judicial separation (not divorce order) is passed, you can claim relief.
