Proof of living in adultery is a condition to disentitile the wife from getting maintenance. However it is 'living in adultery' and not commtting an adultery which makes a single or plural acts of adultery prior to the filing of the proceeding u/s 125 crpc thins of no consideration while granting maintenance..
