I appreciate the emotion of the Questioner.

She can, I think, live in adultery once maintenance is granted.

This's an excellent and typical Query the answer for which has, perhaps, not been contemplated by lawmakers.

adultery is not a crime anymore now.  IPC 497 has been abolished. Adultery can be a ground to seek divorce but not a ground to evade maintenance. She has the right to enjoy with any one she wants willfully. The law given her the right. its not a crime anymore.

Adultery is a ground for evading maintenance before it's granted.     But after it's granted, can't a woman live in adultery without forfeiting it?

You may file case of "divorce" on the basis of "adultery" if you have sufficient evidence to prove it.
