Consensual sex leading to forced marriage
I have dated a woman since September 2017 to feb 2019. I met her in my office before getting posted to other location. I am 29years old and she is 33 years old . We had two sexual encounter before she told me about her background that she is 31years old , divorcee and caste(schedule caste). I told her right away my family will not agree for marriage and she responded me family never agrees initially. I never promised for marriage. From feb 2018 to jan 2019 she has created emotional pressure over me( realised this fact lately while reading our chats). We had total 6 sexual encounters. In april 2018, she went for PCS EXAM and I accompanied her for morale support, initially i refused to come as i had to travel 15hours to meet her . As usual she created emotional fuss and told me to stay in hotel when she will be writing exam. There were two paper on same day , she came in break time and started getting sexual , i mentioned her i did’t have any precautions, we can get protection before we proceed or we can have sex after she gets free from her exam. But she said she would take pills and started to force herself on me. After exam she and I went to our homes and the same day she took the pill . After one month i.e. MAY2018, she said she is pregnant and had ectopic pregnancy. Her family members did’t react to her pregnancy. She refused to get surgery and started blaming me since then , after that in September2018 she asked to meet her and we did’t have penetration sex because i did’t have precaution and refused to have sex. She blocked me and left me with little fight. After one month, she messaged she had abortion. She did’t share any report. And start blaming me indirectly. I always requested to get proper treatment but she simply refused, she did’t take rest and travelled 7-8hours distance tours many times, and she drank couple of times also and this made her condition worse.
She is telling i have destroyed her life, i have played with her, i made sexual relation with marriage proposal(but i did’t) . She lie many times, previously i had guilt feeling because i did’t know deeply about ectopic pregnancy. She started approaching my family 2019. She came to my house in odd hours. My family clearly said we will not accept this marriage and disown our son.
She threaten me that she will commit suicide and shared picture of her bleeding wrist. I got scared and consoled her and told her that I will marry her and 2 days later I told I won’t marry as I have agreed under her suicidal pressure. She threaten me saying ab dekhna main kya karti hu, jindagi bhar pachtaoge”. And as of now she has not get recovered from her ectopic pregnancy and she is under the treatment.
Now her father is also approaching my family. I tried to tell him that her daughter is blackmailing me and forcing to marry her.
What legal complications can be there, how can i save myself from such situation. What if she commits suicide and what if she files a rape case ?

I highly appreciate all the answers. I do have some follow up questions:
- Can the police take actions and do arrest just on the base of her complaint or FIR?
- How long it takes to get anticipatory bail?
- I heard I have to stay for at least the first 3 months in Jail then I will be able to apply for bail? Is that correct?
- If she is not filing Rape or Suicide, is there any other type of case she can file? Like Harrashment or cheating or anything else?
- Is there any way she can involve/file a case against my family into this legally?
- Can I file a case beforehand in my local court?
- Right now I am considering all the worst possible options where I can get trapped. So, I am assuming she might have voice recordings where she was emotionally torturing me, threatening me and I might have said I will marry her because of her to avoid suicide and go for medical checkups. Can she use that against me?
Again I sincerely thank you all for your assitance.
