Can I call the police if my wife cheats in marriage?

In some cases, cheating may involve illegal acts, such as bigamy and fraud. You can consider calling the police at this time.

First of all, understand the nature of cheating.

Infidelity in marriage means that one spouse has emotional or sexual relations with others during the marriage relationship. This behavior violates the duty of loyalty between husband and wife and is a betrayal of marriage. But cheating itself does not constitute a crime, unless it involves other illegal acts.

Second, judge whether there is illegal behavior.

In the case of marital infidelity, it is necessary to judge whether there is illegal behavior. For example, if the derailed party cohabits with others in the name of husband and wife, it may constitute bigamy; If the derailed party obtains other people's property by fraudulent means, it may constitute a crime of fraud. In these cases, you can call the police.

Third, collect evidence and report the case.

If it is determined that there is an illegal act, relevant evidence can be collected and reported to the local public security organ. When reporting a case, you need to provide detailed evidence materials, such as telephone records, text messages, photos, etc. To prove the unfaithfulness of the derailed party and others and the illegal acts involved.

Fourth, consider family relations and follow-up treatment.

Before calling the police, we should give full consideration to family relations and follow-up treatment. Cheating in marriage often does great harm to the relationship between husband and wife and the family, so it needs to be carefully weighed when dealing with it. If both parties are willing to solve the problem through consultation, they can seek the help of professional marriage counseling or mediation agencies.

To sum up:

Whether a wife's marital infidelity can be reported to the police needs to be judged according to the specific situation. If the derailment involves other illegal acts, such as bigamy, fraud, etc., you can call the police. However, in the course of treatment, family relations and follow-up treatment should be fully considered to avoid causing greater harm to the family.
