• Legal advice - relationship break up

Hello Sir/ Madam,


I apologize for writing a big letter but I need some help regarding this matter.

I am a 28 year old girl. I have a relationship with a guy from last two and a half years. Everything seemed fine till January 2018, when I forcibly asked him to speak to his parents for marriage as he was not doing it from last two years inspite of having a physical relationship with me for which I had no consent in general. Everytime he used to emotionally blackmail me for doing that after which he promised me several times of marriage. In the meanwhile my parents were / are looking for prospective grooms to get me married. I did not speak everything about him to my parents. Everytime a guy used to come to see me, he used to ask me to reject him stating some reason and I was such blinded by his love that I have always done that. Last year October when we completed two years of our relationship I asked him to speak to his parents and he assured me that he will get married to me by end of this year. After December he talked to his mother and his mother said no giving the reason that he is a brahmin and I am a kayastha. Post that he started ignoring me and stopped speaking lesser. It's not that we don't meet or don't talk to each other but he has told his parents that he does not have any contact with me. I have asked him several times, that let me go and speak to them in case I can convince but he is not ready to do that. 

After all this, it seems that he has had a plan of wasting my two and a half years and somehow establish a physical relationship with me and leave me. I did not leave him in however situations arose or whatsoever behaviour he showed to me. Sometimes so rude that I felt like committing suicide.

I am completely traumatized and depression has engrossed me. I still love him to the core and cannot even think of leaving him since it was my first physical relationship.

There are many girls alike me who get victimised by these fake guys promises of marriage.

Can I take some legal actions against him so that atleast my depression is lessened even if I can't get married to him?

Thank you so much for reading the letter with patience.

Thanks and regards.

Yes you can surely take action against him for using you on promise of marriage and outraging your modesty, but detailed discussion of history is needed for proper action

Hello

The guy had physical relationship with you and he promised you all along that he would marry you. You rejected potential matches because he consistently requested you to reject them has he would marry you.

Therefore he promised you all along that he would marry you and because of him you are neither married to him nor to anybody.

This is a fit case for filing a criminal complaint against that guy who has duped you and physically and emotionally exploited you.

File a complaint before a magistrate narrating your ordeal and the guy would be summoned and proceedings would start.

Firslty, Mam, I advice you to not to take any wrong step in your life as your parents will not be able live their life if anything gets happen to you.

Secondly, I really appreciate the thinking that you have with regard to be with guy with whom you get intimated for the first time in your life.

Thirdly, but, it’s not your fault that you met wit a wrong guy who may not deserve your love for him.

Fourhtly, yes you can file a criminal complain for sexually assaulting you on the fake promise of marriage as It amounts to rape.

Fifthly, once you file this, he would be in trouble, and lesson for others to not to repeat the same with any girl ever in their life.

God Bless You, and I ll pray that you may get the best one for you very soon in future.

1. Thinking of committing suicide for the relationship getting sour affronts the basic logicl sense.

2. It is amusing to note that now a days, some young man takes decision to marry after taking approval from his mother.

3. it appears that he is not willing to marry you or hesitating to establish the matrimonial relationship and using his mother as the ground or his avoidance.

4. May be it is blessing in disguise for you that you escaped from a meaningless matrimonial relationship with that person.

5. However, you can lodge a police complaint against him, with evidence, for having established physical relationship with you by taking your consent after promising marriage with you which he is refusing now.

6. Such act has been considered as an act of rape by certain High Courts in India.

The boy has surely used you but the fact is that you had sex with him with your own free consent. Now if you go to the police station to file a complaint for rape on the ground that he had obtained your consent with a false promise then he will say that you had it with free consent. The onus will then be on you to give evidence to prove that free consent was absent. However, police may lodge the FIR against him and better sense may then prevail on him.

1. This guy is certainly not a deserving candidate candidate for your lifetime and indeed do not run after time.

2. However at the same time do not leave him along without teaching him a lesson for spoiling your life physically and emotionally.

3. So visit the police and lodge a complaint of rape for having sex with you on the promise of marriage.

4. Once police registers a FIR on your complaint and arrests this man , he will be tasted the flvour of law so in future he may not play with the life or emotions of another persons.

Be brave and do not bear this pain silently.

Good luck.
