Extramarital affair

Nobody should be afraid, consented affair with an adult does not constitute a crime.

Is it you or your friend?

Any how, the husband of the lady can proceed against the person concerned for the offence of adultery.

Hi! Please, have a look at section 497 of the Indian Penal Code.

Whoever has intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such s*xual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both.

Since your friend wasn't aware that the wife was still married, he is not liable under this section. It's been rightly suggested above that your friend put a cease to all contact with the wife.

There are no photos as such....may be some cctv photos at the hotel entrance that too not sure. The husband came to know from the lady herself, after her husband suspected and threatened her. However, my friend had never known that she was in a marriage, however, he made the mistake of believing the woman, a typical trust that happens when someone falls in love.

its certainly not me......this is my friend, he is not in a position to think sensibly after having been hurt in love and now threatened by the woman's husband. If there is no intercourse , can still there be a case of adultery ? 

There are sufficient grounds that an criminal action be initiated for the offence of adultery. It is a different matter whether, ultimately, the charge could be proved.

considering above section, i do not think that if they have not committed s*xual intercourse, he will not be convicted for adultery. but, primarly his husband may harass him and police may proceed on the words of husband. your friend is required to maintain distance and collect all the document where she has stated that she is divorcee and not married. chances of acquittal will be there, but he will have to face all the legal battle.
