My wife, without my knowledge, obtained a copy of my bank statement through someone she knows at the bank. She tried to use this copy in court, but it was rejected as it wasn’t officially certified. Now, she’s asked the court to get a copy directly from the bank and even swore an affidavit about it. I’ve spoken to the bank as I never requested this document. Could I take legal action against my wife for this?

While your wife’s actions might seem unethical, obtaining a bank statement through a contact at the bank is not necessarily illegal under Indian law. Your legal options depend on the specific context and whether the statement’s disclosure harms you. Consulting with a lawyer would be the best course of action to determine your rights and potential legal recourse.
