Hello,

I understand your apathy and I must say that Relationships often do not work. Sometimes couples part ways on mutual respect and other time it is often ugly. However, if your partner makes threats like, “If you don’t do what I tell you to do, I’ll call police and get you arrested” or “If you break up with me, I’ll post those pics everywhere…”, they’re putting you in a really tough spot. This type of threat is called blackmail.

Blackmailing is a form of emotional abuse and, like all abuse, is about power and control. A person who uses this tactic wants to make you afraid of some consequence in order to get you to do what they want. And if your partner is threatening or blackmailing you with fake offences like rape or sexual assault, it is a serious issue and is a punishable offence.

In the best of my opinion I suggest you to discuss this issue with your close family members and then issue a legal notice to the lady through your lawyers (this will solve the things) and if she still continues to black mail you, you can go and lodge a FIR in the nearest police station .

Regards

1) if girl threatens to commit suicide file NC with local police station regarding her threats

2) you should in reply to SMS take the plea that it was consensual relationship that you never promised her marriage

3) in case girl file files false case of rape, dowry harassment obtain AB from sessions court

4) contact a local lawyer

1) you have strong case on merits wherein girl has admitted it was consensual raltiknahip with no promise of marriage

2) file NC with local police station that girl is sending you SMS , calling you and threatening you that she would commit suicide . Enclose copy of emails , messages etc received by you

3) your girl friend would not come to know about NC filed by you

4) only if FIR is filed you should obtain AB from sessions court

1. first you should give a complaint to the nearest police station about this threats.

2. that complaint shall be entered by the police office in General Diary of the police station.

3. she is major so she cannot make false allegation of rape or sexual harassment.

4. if she file any case then this GD entry will help you to get AB or quashing of her complaint.

I want to know what are protective and precautionary measures I can take to secure me and my family in case she does something foolish or try to blackmail me or my family to put some kind of charge like dowry etc.

Your fears about her dowry demand charges are unnecessary because you never married her nor there was any engagement broken.

If her threats persists and intolerable you may either issue a legal notice mentioning that whatever she says about their relationship is nothing but false and imaginary and you never had any relationship with her anytime and never promised to marry her, hence she should refrain from posing any threats and stop blackmailing you by issuing suicidal threats etc, should not indulge in any such act which may disturb your peaceful living and to keep away from you or else to face legal consequences through police or court for such illegal acts.

Alternately you may popt for lodging a NC with the local police about this and can request to take action if need be in the future on this.

Dont make any mention in the legal notice about the consensual relationship between you both, she may take it as an advantage to file a cheating case under section 417 IPC.

You can lodge a NC and can request the police to keep it on hold in the NC stage itself.

If she is going for legal action through police then you may first obtain AB and th4en challenge her case in the trial proceedings with the help of a skilled lawyer..

Your understanding is right, you may don things judiciously based on the advises and suggestions you have received so far.
