In this paper, we study warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifolds of a Kaehler manifold. First, we prove some characterizations results in terms of the tensor fields T and F and then, we obtain a geometric inequality for the second fundamental form in terms of intrinsic invariants. Furthermore, the equality case is also discussed. Moreover, we give some applications for Riemannian and compact Remannian submanifolds as well, i.e., we construct necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-existence of compact warped product pointwise semi-slant submanifold in complex space forms.
