The Higher Regional Court in Frankfurt am Main declared the divorce invalid. The court said the divorce application could not be submitted via WhatsApp.
The case in question involved a German-Canadian couple who married and lived in Canada. After the separation, the woman returned to Germany. Her ex-husband filed for divorce in Canada and then sent the divorce application to her via WhatsApp.

While the Canadian court approved this channel of communication, German judges saw the matter differently. According to the court, the decision is not subject to appeal, so the man now has to file for divorce again.
