Live in relationship.

The man need to get divorce to start another relation. If he lives with another woman without getting divorce then this would amount to adultery which is a punishable offence under IPC.

But, the police can take action against the husband only on a complaint made against him. If the wife takes no action againt the husband, the police would not take any action.

Thank You, Sir. Opinion of others defines 'adultry' as a relationship with a married woman. But, in this case, the woman is an adult and unmarried. So, would there still be a case of "adultry" against the married man. If yes, would the complaint have to come from the wife of the married man or anyone other neutral person or parents of the unmarried woman with whom the married man has started a live-in relationship.

Thank You, Sir ! Your reply gives good clarity on the legal aspects.

Appreciate your views.

but your wife may file another cases on you as it is(your relation) cruelty on your wife 

Yes, ur wife may pull it into the ambit of 498a with the help of some advo. So be a little bit cautious & then enjoy the new relationship if u want.

Not much is going to happen as long the new partener is NON-COMPLAINING!
