ajay sethi (Expert) 13 October 2011
if no physical intercourse has taken place no case of adultery is made out .

having sex chats with lady doees not mean that criminal offence has been committed by your friend.

as advised deny that physical interocurse ahs taken place . state that you only had chat with her and were mere friends . i presume you were not aware that she was married .

my friend was aware of girls marriage sir....but he has not committed adultery...he has also not talked with her since then...her husband has filed a divorce petition on cruelty & adultery ground....my friend was not talking with the girl...thats why he is unknown about the divorce procedding...

1) normally how long it takes to get divorce in such case?
2) Whether he should respond to police summon..since he is staying in different city.
3) whether my friend will face any issue?

In the Divorce petition my friend was mentioned as Respondent-2.....Respondent-1 was lady.

Your friend ,if knowingly had sexual intercourse with a married girl then a caseof adultery would be made out.

Essentials of Adultery:- The prosecution must prove the following things for convincing an accused on a charge of adultery-
That the accused had sexual intercourse with the woman in question;
That she was the lawful married wife of another man;
That the accused knew or had reason to believe that she was the lawfully married wife of another man;
That the husband of the woman did not consent to or connive at such intercourse;
That the sexual intercourse so had did not amount to rape.

None can speak about the time.If police has registered a case of adultery it shall investigate and accordingly either submit charge sheet or final report before magistrate.

Not responding to police may not prove beneficial and definite advise can not be given without looking the contents of FIR.

since your friend is charged with adultery by FIR he is accordingly arrayed as respondent in divorce case.

Court might have ordered for enquiry under section 202 Cr. PC and accused has been directed by police to join investigation. There seems nothing to understand this simple matter.

Your friend is in deep shit.

Criminal case u/s 497 is instituted against him and the husband of her friend can seek divorce based on "hotel room and register" principle.
