The wife whose husband is in an extra marital affair, has “no legal remedy” which can establish criminal liability for his disloyalty so there is no punishment. Not even the woman with whom the husband establishes a sexual relationship outside the marriage can be prosecuted under the Cr.p.c but if she is married then the husband can be held liable for adultery under the Indian penal code.

The extramarital affair is a part of the mental cruelty, the wife can take divorce on the basis of this issue the definition of the term cruelty is defined and explained in section 498 A of IPC, 1860. Thus extramarital affair is also one of the major ground for taking divorce.

Threatening calls and messages

Hi, There are multiple threatening calls on my WhatsApp from different persons who are abusing me and threatening me. From what I have understood someone has given my number to them after their quarrel on a video game and they think that person is me without even knowing my name or background. They are calling and messaging me from different numbers. Their abuses are highly racial and they are threatening me with harm. I have filed a cyber cell complaint but nothing has happened yet. They have even abused my wife and threatened her after overhearing her voice from behind when I was on a call with them. I am looking for a solution where these guys are punished by law.
