If your husband is cheating on you with another married woman, you have several legal options. You can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act, as adultery is a valid ground for divorce. Furthermore, you can apply for alimony if you are economically dependent on him, and file a case under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act if you have suffered any kind of violence. If he marries again when he is still married to you, this might be considered bigamy, which is a criminal offense. Seek advice from a lawyer to go through all possible options.
