Can a government employee lose their job due to adultery?
I am a government employee and am having an extramarital affair. I want to divorce my wife. Will I lose my government job because of the extramarital affair?
An extramarital affair does not automatically result in loss of a government job. However, government service conduct rules may apply, especially if the relationship amounts to misconduct under the applicable departmental rules. Divorce itself does not normally affect employment. If departmental proceedings are initiated, you should respond properly and seek advice from a service-law advocate. The exact position depends on your department and applicable conduct rules.
