Parent can't claim privacy to block WhatsApp chats in child custody dispute: Madras HC
The Madras High Court permitted WhatsApp chats as evidence in a guardianship case. These messages allegedly show the father's drug use and an extramarital affair. The court emphasized child safety over parental privacy in such matters. However, evidence must directly relate to the child's welfare. The mother must prove the authenticity and source of these digital communications.
