• Old live-in relationship issue

Hello Sir,

I am in a big trouble due to my old Live-in relationship with a lady named Pratima Khawas who actually was a prostitute with name Soniya for past 1-2 years before meeting me (her family doesn't know about her profession).

This lady is separated (left her husband) with one son Kunal (with her mother in hometown Siliguri) and then later had an affair with another person in Mujaffarpur. That person also left this lady and since after that she got involved in prostitution.

When I met her, I wanted her to come out of this worst profession. So I continued to meet her, later with the time, we developed a soft corner for each other and decided to live together without marriage. I was living in a live-in relationship for around 2-3 years with mutual understandings (not forcefully at all).
I was owning all the expenses including her rent and livelihood.
Later there started clashes due to the shortage of money. I got to know that she use to send all the money to her family which I give her for daily expenses and buy household things. Also, she use to take many things (food, clothes, toys, medicines, etc) without paying money and later I have to bear those expenses. When she use to go her hometown, she demands me money for her family and if i was not in position to give, she takes it from others and later I have pay that amount.

I tried many times to end up the relationship but she newer allowed me to do that. She tried to attack herself manytimes but when this didn't worked. She started threatening me about me and my family. I somehow continued in pressure.

I started pulling myself from her but she notices this and then started a phase of arguments, fights, etc. Note that I never said or promised her that this relationship will turn into a marriage (she also knows this very well).

Due to family pressure I got engaged, she also got to know this. Later after marriage (4 months now), i changed my room, my mobile number and never tried to contact her.

She somehow managed to find me personally and now threatening me to kill or beat me that i will be on bed for always. Also, threatening to hurt my wife and family members. For this she is taking help of her friends, Ajay & pinky (guard), Pooja, Reena, Riya, etc.

She also threatening to file a case on me for assaulting her and blaming me as that its me who pulled her into the prostitution.

Sir, I am not as that bad person and want to live with my family happily and safely.

Kindly advice me as how to proceed on this matter.

Kind Regards.

Hi, first try and settle things with her amicably.. However , it seems that she will not understand it as she was getting monetary benefits from you .. It is advisable not to get in touch with her and if she comes and create a scene , you can make complaint to the police for threatning.. You can contact me in person for drafting of complaint and further legal assistance

File a complaint against her under ipc 506 for criminal inteminidation and threatening also provide police facts about old relationship.

You need to understand that you are in great problem and need to do something as soon as possible.

I advice you to make a representation to the DCP and SHO first.

And we can get the FIR registered on them as soon as possible. So, that if in case if she files any case on you then you would be protected as her complain would have less credibility in comparison to yours.

Then also we can move to High Court and file a writ of mandamus against police to provide protection you if needed.

You can contact me as I practice in writ matters before Hon’ble High Court Of Delhi.

Live in relation doesn’t mean that latter on she would file some case on you as per Latest Supreme Court Guidelines.

Yes, we can do that also.

You just don’t worry, but at least your family might be coming to know all these.

And also even if you don’t do then still she would one day reveal everthing and put you behind bars for false cases.

But, yes at least for some time we can hold of the things. Once you get some relief reveal it to your family.

The complaint with SHO/Sp shall be private and nothing shall be published or in public record. You need to take steps because she can use you or implicate further if you donot take any steps

You can file a Complaint against her with all the evidence you have. You can charge her for black mailing you and harrassment. Don't worry and don't succumb to her pressure else whole life you will do that.

1) As per new things in the society that live in-relationship, this is treated as marriage and if this case gies in the court than you will have to pay for it.

2) Its better to arrange a private arbitration of family law and pay herbone time settlement amount and get from her in writing that she will no trouble or enter in your life otherwise she may have to pay double amount what you will be going to settle.

Dear Querist

She may file a rape case against you before police, it may be possible that you win that case but you have to face court trial for more then years, without filing the complaint against her before police or court, you have only one option, which is settlement with her.

If there is no possibility of amicable settlement than file a complaint against her and ready to fight a legal battle in which she may file cases against you and she will try all possible way to became your life as hell.

Hi, at this perticular situation it is advisable to stay low and not to approach any authority as it may back fire upon you ... The girl will be called by the police, and they may instigate her to initiate legal action against you...Do you have any record of her threats ?

Dear Sir,

Your step towards wrong direction thus you are in troubles now. Just forget about the past and start new life with your new life at a for away place. She cannot lodge any complaint since herself having a worst history and she may not dare to lodge a complaint against you by approaching police. Please see that your new address should not reach her. In the usual course and causally inform and pray pardon with your new wife so that there should not be any misunderstanding between you two people. As time went on, things will improve, nothing to bother.

The concerned authority in this matter will be your nearest police station, you will have to tell this thing to your wife (not in entirety) so that she is aware about the things going on in your life

Try to ignore her initially and do not respond to any of her communications.

At anytime the harassment fro her becomes unbearable and she continues with her act of threatening you with dire consequences, approach the Police and move a complaint and narrate the entire episode to them.

Under the situation it will be better you lodge a criminal complaint against her for the offences of threats, blackmail. Extortion and intimidation.

If you are taking a bold legal step against her now you can sigh a relief afterwards.

Better consult a lawyer and take the help of a local police.

By lodging a criminal complaint it is not necessary that you will be exposed to public.

You can request police to keep this as confidential, they will cooperate.

Without legal action you cannot solve the issue permanently.
