The medium period of the penalty for adultery is from 2 years, 4 months and 1 day to 4 years and 2 months imprisonment. The maximum period is from to 4 years, 2 months and 1 day to 6 year imprisonment. You can be deprived of the custody as one of the compelling reasons for depriving a mother on the custody of a child below 7 years old is immorality. But this has to be decided by the court.
