Legal Question in Family Law in India
Hi I am a married woman. If i run away to my lover,can we live in the same hotel room and yet escape adultery? My lover is living in a hotel which is provided by the company where he works. Will hotel check in records be enough to prove adultery even though we never intend to have sex. I don not understand why the law assumes that sex is involved when a married woman lives with another man. The circumstance is that i need to run away from my husband because he tortures me, so i don't have any other options rather than living with my lover. Please advise. Your advise would be very helpful to me. Thanks.

a) No. He will be guilty of the offence.
b) The case still be registered; however, final outcome will depend upon evidence produced by the parties during trial;
c) The conduct of the parties leads to such presumption. If two persons of opposite sex live together without any other declared relationship, it will be presumed they have a "live-in" relationship akin to marriage.
This presumption has been created also to protect women from exploitation in the hands of irresponsible elements.
