• Girlfriend forcing to marriage

I was in relationship with a girl but I didn’t promised her for marriage. We had physical relations too. I tried hard to getout from the relationship but she continuesly blackmailed and anyhow continued talks with me. She collected some false proofs like chats and all. I informed her that my marriage is fixed and requested her to free me. She created a chaois messaged the family I was getting married to. She finally put the condition in front of her father and my uncle that if I break the marriage she will leave me and will stop contacting me that conversation was also recorded. But after the marriage is broken, she is again threatening to marry her. What are the possibilities so that I can get rid of because she is continuously torturing my family and me. She made my life hell now. Can I go to police station regarding the same. Can I make any legal settlement with her family so that she should not disturb me in future.

Hello,

I would advise you to approach the police.

You have not committed any crime and no one has the right to harass/ blackmail you.

immediately lodge a complaint at the police station.

She cannot continue to hound you with her nuisance.

If the harassment has crossed the tolerable limits, move a Complaint before the Police and request them to lodge a FIR against this girl and book her immediately.

Just a matter of last resort, you can also send her a legal notice before going to the Police.

It is better to be quite for some time and wait for her move.As you had the physical relation she may go legal against you and will create problem. Just not confirm that you were physical with her.

Yes, do inform the police about the threats or blackmailing by your girlfriend. The conduct done by your girlfriend falls within the definition of criminal intimidation and extortion.

However do note that in spite of your complaint if your girlfriend lodges false complaint of sex on promise of marriage FIR under section 417,376 IPC can be registered against you.

In such cases if you are arrested before you manage to obtain anticipatory bail getting bail may be difficult.

Hence its advisable that you resolve the dispute amicably.

You should not let her illogical wishes ruin your life nobody can bound you or.force you.to marry against your will.

Hello sir , the best suitable way out is to inform her family members and make her give a affidavit in writing that she will not initiate any false charges against you .. Going to police is risky as they may favour girl , and can Inturn implicate you in criminal charges

You can approach police for her threats and blackmailing, but the danger is that you may have to reveal the details of your relationship with her which is the root cause of all nuisances from her side.

In retaliation she may file a cheating case agaisnt you for having sex with her on the promise of marriage and now refusing to marry her.

This backfire may become another problem to you.

You can issue a legal notice to her to stop issuing such threats or blackmails, however you should maintain that you do not reveal the relationship with her but maintain that she was known to you through friends.

Consult a lawyer in the local and proceed as per his suggestions.

The legal remedy to your problem is to first send a legal notice, in which you can state the whole circumstance and mention to stop the harassment if the girl continues to harass you can also file a case against her regarding the same. Also having a physical relationship with a girl (age -18 years or above) with her consent is not rape.

If you want to make a settlement them put the terms of the settlement in a valid contract.
