HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR
WP227 No. 612 of 2025
A husband has no legal right to demand access to his wife’s personal information, including her phone and bank passwords, the Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled, according to a report by LiveLaw.
The observation was made by Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey while hearing a plea filed by a man whose request for his wife’s call detail records (CDRs) was rejected by the Family Court. The petitioner had moved the High Court challenging that order, the report added.
The bench stated that any such compulsion by a husband amounts to a breach of the wife’s right to privacy and would invite action under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
“Marriage does not grant the husband automatic access to the wife’s private information, communications and personal belongings. The husband cannot compel the wife to share her passwords of the cellphone or bank account and such an act would amount to a violation of privacy and potentially domestic violence.
