A.Anything that happened before the marriage can be called as adulterous and your husband will not be able to get any benefit out of this while filing a divorce case in the court. Past relationships are just a fact which can be mentioned in the case but will not go to the extent of deciding the case.

A.First of all, any relationship on your part before marriage cannot constitute adultery.
Secondly, as per the verdict of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India,Whatsapp chatting has no evidentiary value.
So your husband's case is not strong enough.

A.Dear Client,

If the chats are from before the marriage, it will be difficult for him to prove that such an adulterous relationship existed even after the marriage, so getting a divorce will be difficult for him, and he will have to prove that his wife is still in that same adulterous relationship. Essentially, the wife will have some ground to refute the claims of the husband.

Thank you!

A.If chats are of the time before the marriage than it will be hard for him to prove that that such adulterous relationship existed even after the marriage so it will not be very easy or smooth foe him to get the divorce and he will have to prove that his wife is in that same adulterous relationship even now basically wife gets some ground to refute the claims of the husband. Thank you.
