The woman is an adult and she has explained everything to her husband in an open letter and signed it. can the person still bring a charge for adultary or it is an empty threat?

1. Your cousin has committed an offence and letter of his paramour id of no help in his case.
2.Yes police may harass you as well but you can take a plea that you had no idea that your cousin had enticed away a married lady.
3. Yes he can and he can possibly get bail if his case is represented properly.
4. The consent or letter will put the cousin in more trouble. Enticing away a married woman is an offence where consent of the partner if of no relevance.
it is very necessary for you to get the copy of FIR. definitly you may prosecuted as coaccused because you have given them shelter. for getting copy of FIR & further coarse of action you may call me
1) your cousin has committed an act of adultery
2) police will question you but you should deny that you were aware that your cousin has run away with married lady .
3) your cousin can get bail
4)letter by the married lady will land your cousin in trouble . her consent is immaterial . the letter mentions that she has eloped with your cousin . hence your cousin can be prosecuted
Hi,
The offence is adultery and non-bailable . since the girl has eloped the matter is serious and on insistence of police your friend can be in custody. She being an adult can live with any one but her marital status is the problem. The lady should first divorce her husband , and go ahead with the relationship with your friend. Your friend can be in trouble as FIR is lodged so try for anticipatory bail, in case denied , surrender and go for the bail. She has no legal status to use her individual decision to be with another man while she is married and not divorced , the letter will put your friend in more trouble to establish the offence .Send her back and try for bail.
