► 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?

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.
