Adultery

Avinash (Querist) 22 December 2010 This query is : Resolved
When Adultery is committed it will be with the understanding between wife and her paramour.
later when husband came to know about the illegial relation of hers to protect herself and paramour she went and filed 498a and left the house of husband and started staying with her parents and later after 5months she went and filed domestic violence and Maintainence. The court of law gave a judgement after several evidence which proved of their relation and rejected maintainence to her. now i am filing 497 against the paramour.Can anybody help me with citations where she can also be pulled in the offence.

She is also an accused with her paramour. No citation is required for it.

In a proceeding u/s 497, the wife could not be prosecuted.This disparity is still held as constitutionally valid by the supreme court.
