Email hack to prove mental cruelty

Yes, it is crime to hack or using SW to screenshot of computer without hacking under Information Technology Act. It is a crime regadless of who has done it and are punishable under IT  Act.

Do you mean, in this case, there is no way one can prove mental cruelty based on the evidence ?

Yes, hacking is a crime under IT Act. But, when husband produces these evidences beofre the Court, if the wife is found at fault, it is rare that she will file a case under IT Act. In any case, husband should be ready to face the consequnces. And under IT Act allegations, he can take the defense of the necessity of his act for the sake of the present case. 

Thanks for the reply Suchitra.

I think its worth taking the risk, than to accept false allegations :-)

At times, we need to make a crime, to stop criminals.

 Using software to capture screenshot of computer is not  come within the meaning of hacking under it act, because both r living in one home and using software is just like JASUS (investigate) type

if husband have password given by wife  then not come within meaning of HACKING

If there is hacking, the evidence remians dubious and in my opinion it would be difficult to establish its authenticity as hacked mail can be manipulated too. 

If husband has password, then husband himself can write N number of misleading messages from wife's account. It is very easy to demolish the authenticity of hacked or shared password mail. Thus the screenshot of your wife's e-mails also become dubious; 

Remember, there would be defence from wife also and it would not be easy to defend the credibility of hacked mails. 

Hacked mails can be cross checked if they are manipulated. A copy from the  IP addres can be taken again  from which the mail is retrieved and that gives the authenticated mail version even if it is manipulated later. Each and every word typed can be retrieved as it is even if they get deleted. 

There is a chance of wife defending herself by saying her husband has written those mails in her name. But then, these electronic evidences alone cannot decide the fate of a case. One has to provide other corrroborative evidences to prove the facts. 

The date and time will be recorded along with mails, chat sent from the IP address. If husband can prove that he was not there at the time and date when it was sent , he has a good defense. 

Every devise, laptop or PC will have one IP address. So, when any mail or chat conversation is required to be retreived, we have to get the IP address from which it has been sent, irrespctive of any service providers. Common people will not be having all such knowledge and may not know anything about IP address. 

People start using PC or laptop as an entertainment device most of the times, without knowing how we can be trapped so easily. As you have raised the doubts about authenticity of hacked mails, I had to write all this. It is always better to think twice before we type anything. Even deleted mails can be retrieved. I hope this much is enough info and I stop this topic at this. 

It becomes unnecessary and diverted topic altogether if we continue like this. :)

thank you suchitraji..

I agree with Suchitra. S view

Electronic evidences alone cannot decide the fate of a case. One has to provide other corrroborative evidences to prove the facts. And it is a crime too.

Emails hacking requires software knowledge,it is  through these methods:

Password Guessing

password Recovery Page

Spy+Keylogger Software

Hardware keylogger

Torjan Lastdoor with Embed in Xls or Pdf file

Phishing

Remote hacking by mail tacking using readnotify.com( now these system is used world wide so beware if you have received fack or unknown mails dont opened it)

Sniffing on same network  Etc.

And after the person(hacker) caught by police the punishment if proved is this;

Section 66 of IT Act -Hacking ( punishment upto 3 yrs/fine of 2 lakhs)

Precaution:

# Don't talk to strangers online. You never know what might go wrong
# Be prudent in disclosing your email ID anywhere on the Internet
# Frequently change your password and your answer to the ‘secret’ question
# Do not use a password that also happens to be the answer to your secret question
# Do not disclose your password to anyone, not even your friends

Thank you Suchitra ji, this is really informative....
