Hi
Based on the FIR filed by the police, you should file for a divorce case.
Since the Crime has been committed by the lady, you are not at fault in any circumstances.
The exhaustive news coverage by itself is sufficient to prove that the lady was in adulterous relationship.
You, your job and your family members are NOT under any risk and all of you do not need to be worried at all.
The lady has NO right whatsoever to file either of the following cases:
1) 498a (Dowry) as it is the lady who was in adulterous relationship.
2) Domestic Violence case- As it is the lady who was in adulterous relationship, Domestic violence case will be quashed in the earliest opportunity by the court.
3) Maintenance= The lady is employed and also was in adulterous relationship and hence not entitled for maintenance.
Courts will grant divorce within 2/3 hearings based on the exhaustive evidence you have posted alongside your query.
You can also file a case for damages and defamation against the lady and claim monetary relief from her on grounds of damages and defamation.
1. There are two remedies for you-civil and criminal. You may launch a criminal prosecution against her paramour for the offence of adultery under section 497 IPC which carries an imprisonment of up to 7 years.
2. You are also free to file a petition for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery against her.
1. You have taken the best possible action in the instant case.
2. At what stage the police case filed against them are now?
3. You can now file an annulment petition on the ground that she has suppressed the vital fact that she is an a serious relationship including physical relationship with another man which she continued even after her marriage and had the said fact been made known to you, you would never have married her.
4. Also lodge a police complaint alleging that she has threatened you for lodging false 498A complaint for taking revenge on you for exposing her adulterous relationship out of her wedlock.
5. This incidence will have no bearing on your official job.
No problem for your since you are subject to cheating by that lady. You can file divorce petition on the basis of adultery ground before family court if you wish and divorce will grant because you are having enough and sufficient proof as the police already registered a case and all hte media covered the news. She may file false cases. before that you better to approach court of law.
You have exposed them to the world and also have lodged a complaint with the police for the offences of adultery.
Next what you can do is to file a divorce case on the grounds of adultery after completion of one year from the date of marriage.
Dont file annulment petition because it is not maintainable.
