Can messages, recordings, and chats be used during divorce?

Yes, electronic evidence is admissible under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act. In contested Christian divorce (S.10), parties commonly use:

  • WhatsApp chats to show cruelty/adultery
  • GPS data/photos
  • Social media activity
  • Voice/video recordings
    Courts treat such evidence cautiously but allow it if legally authenticated. For mutual consent divorce (S.10A), evidence is not required since there is no allegation.y
