Is it legal to do adult chat when both the girl and boy are involved in whatsapp (without sharing any pornography or nude images) like just texting.My old chat got deleted . Now she is using vulger slang languages to me in chat which I am saving.What will occur if someday she saved my chat and deleted her chat and lodge an FIR?? I have no backup chat.

A.Hi, please note that any form of communication, unless it conspires to commit an offence, is not punishable per se. It could only be used as a piece of evidence to establish motive or intention (mens rea) or planning toward an offence that has already taken place.

A conversation between two adults, especially when the consent and active participation of both parties is evident, is not punishable.

My suggestion to you would be that if you don't trust the person (given the fact that you feel the need to take screenshots in anticipation of her bringing a case against you), or if they are not an adult, you shouldn't be having such conversations with them.

If you found this helpful, please rate me. Thanks!

A.Sex chatting between two consenting adults is not a crime and you will not be punished for the same. If one party complains then also nothing will happen as that party has also participated in the chat. Yes sharing of nude and obscene images or videos can be problematic.
