My wife and I divorced in an Islamic court in Mysore in 2010. After she filed for maintenance under Section 125, I agreed to pay. We reached a compromise in 2015, but I later discovered she was in a relationship with another man. I moved out. Now, she’s seeking maintenance again under Section 125. Can I file an adultery case against her to uphold justice and fairness?

Indian law doesn’t recognize adultery as a crime. While you can file a divorce based on adultery, it won’t affect your maintenance obligations under Section 125. Your case for reducing maintenance will depend on proving she’s financially independent due to her relationship.
