Is it a cyber crime if i log in wife's whatsapp without consent
17-Jun-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
Hi, Wife had boyfriend & they used to chat using Whatsapp messenger. 1 day I took her phone without her knowledge, used Whatsapp Web option and logged in to her Whatsapp number from my computer browser. I took screenshots of a few Whatsapp messages she had sent to her boyfriend. I did not export or archive those msgs. I just have screenshots showing her boyfriend's name. 2 months down the line, Wife & I had a heated argument on this issue. I showed her all her msgs. She left my home & filed a false Domestic Violence case. She has mentioned that I've hacked into her whatsapp/email several times and I should be punished as per cybercrime law. Qs 1) Can I make use of those screenshots to prove her adultery and to save myself from her false allegations? 2) Is it really a cybercrime to take screenshots of one's private chat with someone else? 3) If I write down all msgs on a paper & show it as proof in court, will it save me from cybercrime offence? --OIBM
1. Snoop through cyber resources of 3rd party is a cyber crime offence.
2. If the screenshots actually prove her adultery then court can pass order to discharge you from cyber crime offence.
3. When you submit the digital proof in court, it must be certified by cyber expert under sec. 65b of Indian evidence act.

Hi. Not in the strict sense your act amounts to cyber crime offence coz she is your wife. Sure you can use all that msg as proof against her but in evidence stage only. And be aware that she may lodge a non bailble case against you.
Thank you
