How do you prove concubinage?
The crime of concubinage can be committed only by a husband and his concubine, but it requires that the wife must prove that her husband has kept a mistress in the conjugal dwelling, or has had sexual intercourse under “scandalous circumstances” or lived together with his mistress in any other place.
Are cell phone text messages admissible in court?
Admissibility depends on the purpose for which the evidence is sought to be admitted. Evidence is hearsay — and presumptively inadmissible — if it is tendered to make proof of the truth of its contents. So then, text messages are not necessarily hearsay: it depends on the purpose for which they are tendered.
Will a judge look at text messages?
Like most pieces of evidence, text messages are not automatically admissible in court. You must ensure that they satisfy the requirements of the rules of evidence for your jurisdiction. Three of the main reasons the court might exclude text messages are relevance, hearsay, and lack of authenticity.
Can text messages be traced after they are erased?
Yes they can, so if you’ve been having an affair or doing something dodgy at work, beware! Messages are laid out on the SIM card as data files. When you move messages around or delete them, the data actually stays put.
