Husband's extramarital affair

my hubby filed divorce on the grounds of desertion and cruelty.......... i have not filed a reply to his petition yet......

few days back i messaged my husband for reconciliation......but he was rude..and started abusing me.....he even said that he is having an affair and that girl is emotionally supportive....he said he cannot keep 2 women at a time..one has to go so i should go....he even said that "girl is his wife in real sense....legally wife nahi hai toh kya hua"..... these were his words......... will these messages help me ???? messages can be used as a proof? how will these messages help me in divorce case filed by my husband?? can he have an affair while divorce case is pending?

Dear Shivali,

What are the evidences he had submitted to prove your cruelty and desertion? That plays vital role in the divorce case.

But Yes..These messages will really help to you prove that he has treated you badly with the intention to send you out and get married to that girl. That's why he filled divorse. You can prove that your decertion is due to his harrasment and still you want to save the marriage. So your side is strong and your husband will not get divorce  if you proceed your case with a good advocate. A women or a man having affair before divorce is Adultary. That point you can strongly mention in your petition. All the best.

@ venkatesh: thanks for the reply........settlement in what sense ?? i don't want  a divorce....... can i show these messages while filing a reply to my hubby's petition ?? or they will be of no use since i don't want a divorce

Hi shivali, no need to show the message while filing the petition itself. Initially you can mention that have such messages. If asked to produce it you can.That will be good enough to break his false statments.

It is all a great piece of evidence. Though there it's a not a crime having an extra marital affair, but that would defeat his claim for divorce as the court won't lend it's aid to one who has been guilty himself. The theory of matrimonial bars S.23 Hindu Marriage Act is attracted.

Are u sure he has preserved ur smses in original format??? No point to worry for u even if its so, coz asking for maint n using that money at ur sweet will is all legal.

1. You have weak “secondary evidences” whose stage will come at the fag end of progressing suit till that time they are of no use.
2. Follow Court procedures to rebut his suit in meantime.
3. He may get divorce if he proves his allegations para.
4. If you are educated and working then you will not get any mainteance.

@ ranee: thanks for reminding me that.....

@tajobs: am not working....i have never worked after marriage..... i have done mba...... i used to work before marriage..... it means pati ghar se nikaalde....toh bhi wife hee job karey......main toh apney sasural mein rehna chahti hun.... iska matlab pati ki koi responsibility hai hee nai....... am just worried for messages jo maine apne pati ko bheje hain......sab gussey mein bheje the...... i think i shudn't hv said"maintenanace ready rakhiyo.....teri jeb dheeli honey wali hai....main bhi shopping karungi....and tere paise se rent k ghar pe rahungi" i did a big mistake........ but that was out of anger wen he abused me and threatened to kill me.........

@Shivali,

What do you want out of marriage ?? When marriage fights goes to court its not only one party who is suffering. Suffering / pain is for both parties and gain for advocates. From the messages exchanged i feel feeling is dead from both sides.

 

I have seen plenty of cases (personally) where even after execution of maintenance court order, husbands have prefered to go to jail instead of paying maintenance. So do not have wrong perception that you would always get money. There are plenty of judgements where maintenance to wife is denied if she is qualified and have worked earlier. MBA seems to be post graduate qualification comes under highly qualified person who can get job easily.

 

If one side has decided to end marriage, better to end it gracefully instead of fighting out infinitely in the court is what my personal opinion is.
