Dear Sir,

Yes, you can file a case of adultery against that guy. Adultery is an offence defined under section 497 of the Indian Penal Code 1860. 

No , a person cannot file a criminal case against his wife and her family on the ground of adultery but surely he can file a case against the the person his wife is in relation with .

Our law makers at the time of making these laws were of the mind that a women cannot seduce so the law was made according to that situation .

This was the ground for taking a divorce but the same problem was faced there so an amendment in the Hindu Marriage act was replaced in the sec 13 with “voluntarily sexual intercourse other than the spouse” with these words .

Yes, you can file child custody case in family court and get your children to your custody

get yourself a better job with regular income do not rely on wife's income or alimony in rarest cases alimony can b granted to husband for damages but it isn't a law.

you can file for child custody also depending on the age of the child if above 8 years then the court may ask the child who he/she wishes to stay with.

you may not like my answer, but the top most court has stated no matter how cruel the wife is husband needs pay alimony and house to wife, it needs to be dealt very carefully or else you will go round and round with no reliefs

Sir,

It would be my suggestion to patch up the things, if possible I. e. in other words forgive her and have a plan for future of your child. 

            You can surely file a divorce petition under adultery, but to be factual its very difficult to prove and also time taking.

Evidences just narrated by you needs to be identified how effective are.

Dear Sir,

Dear sir, 

I am summing up your issues to make my advice clear to you.

1) whether you can get the divorce on the ground of adultery?

2) whether you can get the custody of the child, where you are currently unemployed?

3) whether you can sue the man for the adultery?

Coming directly to the answers to the issues.

1) Whether you can get the divorce on the ground of adultery?

YES, you can get the divorce on the ground of adultery, subject to the cogent proof you have. Its a ground under section 13(1) of hindu marriage act.

2)whether you can get the custody of the child, where you are currently unemployed?

Maybe, As per the law child  below 6 years are to be under the guardianship of the mother. But, we can prove in the court that the lady is such as that the benefit of the child cant be assured. And if the child wants the guardianship can be decreed in your favour.

3)As per  the recent judgment of the supreme court which is Joseph shine vs union of india, the adultery law has been strucked down by the supreme court. so you cant sue the person on the charge of adultery. But, we still have many options where he can be held liable. 

Hope that solves your query.

4. Since employed, she is not entitled to qany maintenance from you in the given circumstances.

5. You can not sue the other person as per law.

6. You can seek child custody for child's welfare but for that yiou shall have to prove with evidence that you are capable of maintaining your child by yourself. 

it is a valid ground to file divorce but at first affairs must be proved before the court. If it proves successfully than court has to passed divorce petition in favour of husband. 

some time court may give custody of the child to mother if child is very young. If you show to the court that you can look after the child very nicely than your wife than court may not give custody to her and pertaining to maintainence if it is rejected she can challenge it.

Dear sir 

You can file divorce case on her on basis of adultery. As you have all the evidences against your wife you can easily get the divorce.

And also you can evict the maintenance on the basis of adultery. Under section 125(4) of CrPC 

But adultery is no longer a crime as supreme court of India has make sec 497 IPC unconstitutional. But you can make the guy punished by sending the evidences to his wife. 

If you hav evidence to prove her adultery then you can file a divorce case  on the grounds of adultery.

If the court is granting you divorce on the same grounds, then you can repudiate her claim for maintenance  on the same grounds.

You can also safely seek the child custody on the same grounds and if court is convinced then you can get the child custody also.

However you cannot take any criminal action against her paramour for his acts of adultery with your wife.
