If a wife steals her husband's phone password, will she be punished?
Is there a penalty for a wife who steals her husband's phone password?
Information in an individual's phone is one of the individual's private information and no one has the right to open, control or confiscate it illegally (according to the Article 21 of The Constitution of The Socialist Public of VietNam).
At the same time, according to Clause 3, Article 38 of the Civil Code 2015 also affirms:
“The safety of mails, telephones, telegrams, other forms of electronic information of an individual shall be ensured and kept confidential.
The opening, control and keeping of mails, telephones, telegrams, other forms of electronic information of an individual may only be conducted in cases provided by law.”
Thus, the wife's theft of her husband's phone password without the husband's knowledge and consent will become a violation of the law.
