My wife wants a divorce because she discovered old messages from my girlfriend. We were close before marriage, and I tried to end it after our wedding. I told my girlfriend that I’d only be friends from then on, but she gets very upset if I’m not attentive. It took a long time to distance myself completely. I never told her about my marriage because I wanted to handle this discreetly. Unfortunately, the police helped her get our old messages, which include some inappropriate language. I never physically cheated on my wife, but she’s convinced otherwise. We live in Gujarat, and my girlfriend is in Kerala, so we only had an emotional connection over the phone. She’s also married with a child. If my wife files a case against me, my girlfriend’s family will be dragged into it, potentially ruining her marriage and her son’s life. I wanted to solve this myself, but my intentions have been misinterpreted. I truly love my wife and can’t imagine life without her. However, her parents are pushing for divorce, claiming this as the reason. They want a mutual consent divorce, which I don’t want. If I refuse, they’ll file a case. What are the possible outcomes of this case? Can I prove my innocence?

Under Indian law, your wife can file for divorce based on adultery or cruelty. The messages with inappropriate language could be used against you, but the fact that the relationship was primarily emotional and that you did not physically cheat could be considered in your favor. You can seek legal advice to present your side, defend yourself, and try to reach a mutually acceptable solution.
