Question:
Can a wife take legal action against the woman her husband committed adultery with?
Answer:
In Bangladesh, if a wife’s husband commits adultery, the wife can take legal action against the woman involved. This includes filing a case under Section 494 and Section 495 of the Bangladesh Penal Code, which deals with bigamy and cheating. Additionally, under family law, the wife can claim damages if she can prove harm caused by the affair. However, legal proceedings can be complicated, so it is advisable to consult a lawyer for a detailed approach.
