        If my wife is blackmailing me to do whatever she wants me to do/give her n amount of money or she would file False Dowry, False DV, False Mental Cruelty and everything else under the sun to destroy my life.

        And if I were to make a recording (voice/video) of the same without her knowledge/consent.

        Would it be admissible?

        On one hand it’s a violation of her right to privacy on the other hand it’s literally Evidence against blackmail and extortion.

          If you are involved and threatened provably, you can in my opinion. you can always argue that indian laws and courts require evidence. hence, you are forced by indian laws and courts to record. as she clearly threatens you to pull you to that same indian laws and courts.

          lolz! what a contradictory system!

                It’s wild how they would rather complain about the smell of soot when I go to them saying I am burning.

                Recently some case came up where the courts said the husband is violating the wife’s right to privacy because he has been recording all of their conversations for years.

                I think they were just shocked by the fact that the husband wasn’t going to take any risks ๐Ÿ˜… and given the current system one shouldn’t either. I’ll try to look it up and link here. Please remind me if i forget.

                But this argument is pretty vague i think. If such is the case the police shouldn’t tap anyone’s calls, track them or anything. If you find someone is doing something illegal you’re not supposed to report them. I think this judgement will be contested and overturned. But let me find that particular case first because the judgements depend on case to case basis too.

                    Yeah, I think so too.
                    When someone commits a crime against someone, it shouldn’t be protected under the right to privacy.

                    One can’t just murder someone and challenge a video that had been made of the act as against their right to privacy, same logic must apply to criminal intimidation and blackmail, coz essentially it’s a crime too.
