Re: tape recording conversation

Recording of private conversation for private use may not be illegal. You may be entitled to produce such tapes in court as evidence of Adultery. However, she may have an equally strong evidence / defence;

if you fail to prove the ground of adultery, it may amount to cruelty/domestic violence by you and you may suffer criminal prosecution.
