• I am getting blackmailed by a girl

I am only 18 years old now and I was in a relationship of about 1 year with a girl from my own class. We've got about 3-5 months together and after that we came into a Long distance relationship. In this relationship I never met her again and we only talked in phone, messege or video chats. I never touched her physically in my life time and never tried to force her in any situation. 

After that I moved out of the state for study purpose and things were not working well. By seeing the unhappy relationship I decided to break up with her and I said that to her but she didn't allow me to do that for some days. After that once I successfully got break up with her, a couple of weeks ago. But now she calls me and tells me that she will destroy me. She threatens me to spoil my life and image in front of everyone.

But I swear I never touched her and forced her. She is blackmailing me to go back to that relationship, or else she according to her will ruine my life. If I haven't done any wrong, why she will ruine me, as I think just being in a relationship is not a crime, and if not happy, breaking up is also not crime. My life is getting he'll in fear. Do help me.

Hello,

I do not think so that she will do anything, and she is just saying all this to create a fear in your mind.

You are right when you say that being in a relationship is not a crime and hence you are not liable for any wrong.

If you still think that she is aggressive enough and can do something and IF YOU WANT you may just tell al this to some elderly member of your family who may convey all this to the parents of the girl.

Otherwise no legal wrong has been done by you and you do not have to worry about anything.

Hii, there is nothing to fear and di not get tensed by her act of immaturity .. You have not established any physical relation with her , therefore she cannot take any legal action against you .. Talking on phone with some one do not constitute any offence and is not a crime .. It is advisable to end it peacefully

You should not be frightened or worried about such threats or blackmails.

Even if she is indulging in any such act to spoil your name, her name also get spoiled, being a male, you may not suffer much humiliations.

you better inform your parents so that they will keep a close touch with the developments and warn that girl or warn her parents about this.

No doubt relationship with a girl and breaking up is not a crime, but who will understand this concept.

She might have misunderstood that this relationship for love, whereas it is actually an infatuation.

If need by you may take the assistance of a local advocate to issue a legal notice to her instructing her to refrain herself from indulging in such activities in future.
