Offence relating to marriage

The husband of a woman has illicit relations and cohabitations with the unmarried daughter of his maternal uncle. The woman is suffering a lot mentally due to breach of trust of her husband. Can the woman file a criminal case against her husband u/s 406 of I. P. C. as well as file a divorce suit?

She can file a divorce suit but 406 is not made out.

Like Adv. Ashish Davessar rightly said, a case u/s 406 is not made out but she surely can file divorc petition on the grounds of mental cruelty and adultery.
