Bombay High Court Sets Aside Divorce Decree Based Solely on WhatsApp Chats

The Bombay High Court quashed a Nashik family court's divorce order granted solely on WhatsApp chats alleging cruelty, emphasizing that such digital evidence requires proper proof and the spouse must be given a chance to rebut. The family court had ruled in favor of the husband based on chats where the wife requested separation and made derogatory remarks. The High Court remanded the case for a fresh hearing, suggesting mediation as an option.
