⚖️ What the Law Says About Cheating in Relationships:
🔹 As per the 2018 Supreme Court ruling, adultery (Section 497 IPC) is no longer a criminal offence.
🔹 BUT, cheating in relationships may amount to:
Mental cruelty – for divorce or domestic abuse under Section 498A IPC
Fraud or breach of trust – especially where money, promises of marriage, or cohabitation were involved
Emotional or financial exploitation – may lead to civil compensation suits

😂 “Till betrayal do us part” might not be romantic, but it’s legally interesting! 🧠❤️

📝 What You Can Do Legally:
✔️ File for divorce on grounds of cruelty or adultery
✔️ Seek compensation if there’s financial fraud or breach of trust
✔️ File under Section 420 IPC (cheating) if deception was involved
✔️ Use proof of chats, bank transfers, or false marriage promises
✔️ Women can explore remedies under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act

⚠️ Remember: Just cheating isn't always enough for a lawsuit. But if there's deception, fraud, or financial loss — you have a stronger case.
