► This case is about a relative of mine. He found out his wife has been cheating on him for 1 year. She is seeing another guy behind his back. Photos in her phone as proof. If he wants to divorce her, what are the implications? Does he have to pay alimony? She works as a teacher. House is under his and his wife's name. What should he do?

Hello, 

 

Photos in her phone need to be received or taken by you in your phone. 

Further mere photographs do not establish a relationship outside marriage. 

Alimony claim depends on the gravity of the offence. 

It is a matter of right and in majority cases the husbands have to pay the same. It all depends on how less or meagre the quantum can be depending on her earnings. 

 

You case looks like a strong one to be contested. 

You need to take immediate steps. 

Please get in touch for better guidance on the subject matter.

Photos are not enough to prove adultery or bigamy. You can file divorce case on the ground of cruelty caused due to her affair outside marriage. House in joint name is to be divided and subject to just exceptions, wife can claim maintenance, residence etc. Husband can counter her claim under guidance of a competent lawyer.
