is reading diary illegal?

Question

when someone read ur diary and it cost a lot of conflicts??
is there any law that cover that?

Answer 1

Not illegal. Just unethical and a breach of personal trust.

Answer 2

Well, it's an invasion of privacy, but I don't really think there is any legal ramifications for this annoyance.

If someone reads your diary and then starts talking bad about you behind your back, and using your diary against you, then YES you can take legal action because that is called "Liable".

Look up the legal rules about "Slander" and "Liable" and see if either one of those fits your situation. If not, then there is nothing you can do except for beat the person with a cricket bat for reading your personal stuff.

Answer 3

No. If you are stupid enough to write down your life in book for people to read you can't complain when someone reads it. When I had a diary as a child I left out the bits that could cause me grief and used different names when I wanted to put down my feelings about things. You just have to learn to write in code a little more so that you can remember your past without other people being able to fully understand......either that or put a lock on it next time.

Answer 4

my father read my diary when I was 17 (1996) and living under his roof. I had caught my mum having an affair and lost my virginity two weeks earlier, I wrote twenty pages describing it in explicit detail. He came and threw the diary at me at work (busy ground floor till of massive department store on a saturday) and commented on stuff contained in the twenty pages in an abusive manner. Is that illegal?

Answer 5

It's your responsibility to conceal your diary, and there is no law that protects it from being read by other members of your own household. Many people these days keep their diary on their computer, and protect it with a password so that family members cannot snoop into it.

Answer 6

Not unless they broke into your house to get it.



Edit: I recommend if you want to continue having a diary then use your email, you can write it and save it as a draft or write an email to yourself with the subject being the date and save it in a folder named "diary" or I guess something more secretive if you prefer. I usually send notices to myself because I'm forgetful but sometimes they are personal. I would prefer paper because I'm not the fastest typer but at least its password protected and I can delete it, remember if you do follow the email diary suggestion the email will be in your sent folder, your inbox folder(until you send it to a sub folder) and when you delete it, your trash(for at least 48 hours) so you have to make sure you delete it from all those places if you have to.

Answer 7

the place i'd say it rather is unethical on your dad and mom to be examining your diary, they are your dad and mom, you reside of their living house, and you're underage, so there is not any longer lots you're able to do approximately it. the only element i will propose is which you get a diary that has a lock on it, and save the main on a necklace or bracelet which you positioned on all the time. in the event that they like to study your diary, they're going to a minimum of ought to break the lock. yet another element I in basic terms theory-approximately, save 2 diaries, one for you, the different on your dad and mom, you could desire to grant them some powerful reliable examining.

Answer 8

I feel it's an invasion of one's privacy. But also if the contents of that diary holds incriminating evidence, maybe the 'reader' will find themselves in a legal situation, after reading it then withholding information.

Answer 9

reading somebody's personal diary may not be illegal but certainly immoral.

But if it has caused conflicts then better consult a law practitioner.

Answer 10

if the diary was taken without permission to be read then its stolen property, that is illegal. I'm not sure if reading it is but its awfully rude.
