In India, a husband can seek divorce based on adultery under Section 13(1)(i) of the Hindu Marriage Act. However, proving adultery can be challenging. He may also explore grounds like cruelty, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage, depending on specific circumstances.

My husband has been deceiving me for years. I was unaware that he secretly obtained a divorce without my knowledge and remarried. I had to leave for a job opportunity in April 2013 and he promised to follow me abroad. He visited me twice since then and we remained in contact. During his first visit, I learned he had married someone else just a year after I left. He assured me he would resolve this situation quickly and be with me. But I waited, and now I’ve discovered he’s about to have a child with this new wife. I feel betrayed and heartbroken. We are Hindus and legally married. What legal options do I have to seek justice and protect my rights?
