        So i recently came across a friend who is a starting law. He told me of a case where a man was gathering evidence of his wife having affair using a private investigator and through social tools and cctv cameras.
        He collected all the chats, photos and videos.
        He somehow violated some privacy thing and is about to face upto 5 years in prison!
        He added if a woman were to do the same on her husband it wouldn’t be a problem.
        I mean, is this true?! is this justice?! wtf I’m really scared… please someone clarify

            Either your friend is bullshiting you with exaggerations, or the man in question publicly leaked that content. Revenge porn is illegal even in developed countries.

              “He SOMEHOW violated privacy laws”.

              Yeah, he collected private videos and photos that he should y have been in his possession.

                  Your friend is sleeping in the class or at the bench.

                            yes if wife collects evidence it is okay, if husband does that it is domestic violence

                            however this has many variables, a good lawyer can help

                                  I know someone who collected such evidence. Then while presenting in court, he said that someone sent him these pics

                                    Ask him the exact law. If true this will only incentivize the man to make the information public.

                                        So he was accused for a criminal charge right? Right to privacy if not a criminal charge. But it can apply to criminal cases of other charges. I am assuming that the wife filed an FIR of stalking

                                        depends on how he collected the evidence. If he stalked her to the point that she apprehended danger, the stalking laws would apply. But if he collected evidence and then filed a case without leaking the information to the public, I don’t see the issue. While stalking a person with a private investigator is morally wrong in my opinion (they should collect the evidence themselves), it’s common in adultery cases.

                                        Ask him to lawyer up, a proper lawyer will ensure he wont be jailed. However if the private investogator and your friend broke the law by stalking her to the point she feared for her life, then it will be more difficult to save him

                                            Wouldn’t a private investigator do a better job than you doing it yourself??

                                            As far as our practice goes, both the spouses are bringing the evidences of their counter parts cheating and such evidence is considered valid by the courts. While collecting such evidence if anyone breaches the safety of the other or through any illegal means, that may attract criminal or cyber law charges. This condition applies to both husbands and wives.

                                                All of this seems so bad as a man in general.

                                                What if my wife and I were to get married in US where we sign a prenup.

                                                Later we come back to India, now will the prenup hold?

                                                    Don’t get married bro. You’re also thinking about divorce lol

                                                    And to answer your question, yes! It does hold! But ofcourse if you come back to India.. you’re in a law-less land – so nobody will enforce it. Look at the state of soooo many women in Punjab who married to UK citizens on paper. They should legally be there now, but their espouses have abandoned them and the UK government can’t help in anyway.

                                                        I don’t want a divorce but I also don’t want to be penniless if the situation arrives.

                                                        Nobody wants to die an accidental death or have a heart attack and yet people but insurance policies.

                                                        What kind of stupid logic is that?

                                                            I can ask you the same question
                                                            You’re on Reddit asking strangers about whether your prenup will hold in India, instead of going an actual lawyer. What kind of logic is that?

                                                            Ps: I did answer your question. Now, if you don’t like the answer.. that’s on you!

                                                        All of this seems so bad as a man in general.

                                                        What if my wife and I were to get married in US where we sign a prenup.

                                                        Later we come back to India, now will the prenup hold?

                                                          Please ask him for the name of the case and detailed facts.

                                                          With the limited information you have given, it sure seems unfair to the man but we have to know the full set of facts and reasoning of the judge before anything can be said in the matter.

                                                            What I think is –

                                                            “You cannot record her without any reason, here you can tell that u were doubting her.

                                                            Second, recording inside your personal home without her permission – is a definite crime.

                                                            Don’t know about outside home laws”
