Legal Question in Family Law in India
Consequence Of Adultery
I have few questions on adultery
1. What kind of sentence does an indian family court grants once adultery is proved? Acc to the law it is a punishable offence and even has a jail term.However in practice no one has been sent to jail for committing adultery in India.
2.Once adultery is proved by the petitioner on the part of the respondent can she claim the flat of the respondent for herself and her child?. Since petitioner has been driven out of the house by the respondent and his parents. and has no accomodation of her own.
3.What other rights can the petitioner avail for herself and her child after proving adultery?
