a photo taken of a wife kissing another man enough to cancel her right to maintenance under Jewish law?

At the family court a photograph of this nature will probably not be sufficient, unless it is really explicit and intimate, and it clearly cannot be mistaken for a social gesture. However, if the maintenance proceedings are at the rabbinical court, and not the family court, the risk of the wife losing maintenance based on evidence short of direct evidence of explicit sexual acts, is arguably greater.
