1. A love affair does not warrant that the couple will ave to marry each other in all circumstances.

2. Any one or both of them can beak off the relationship at his sweet will and no legal binding makes them bound to marry at all costs.

3. So if you do not wish to marry her then move on your life though you can stop her from bad mouthing which wit passing of each months will subside.

block her number 

 

2) don’t reply to her messages 

 

3) if she persists file NC against her for constantly threatening you 

 

4) if she files false case against you apply for bail and contest case on merits

Act as advised hereinabove

Dear Client,

Under The Information Technology Act, 2000cyber stalking as a standalone concept was not directly addressed under this Act. What the IT Act sought to do was to address the consequences of online stalking. For example, in a scenario, where multiple accounts are created to stalk a person online, the IT Act tackles this provision and terms it to be an offence of Impersonation under Section 66D.

Here a person is assuming a fake identity with an intention to deceive another or cheats by using a computer or a communication device.

In another scenario where a person is stalking a person online and sexually harasses someone by sending obscene pictures then it becomes an offence under Section 67, for transmitting material which is obscene in nature and in a scenario where the content is sexually explicit material then it is an offence under Section 67 A for transmitting material containing sexually explicit acts.

You may Lodge a Complaint under IT Act against her.

If she is not following you in person and only violating your privacy digitially. A written complaint can be filed on your behalf to stop her bothering you. Alternatively, A legal notice can be sent to her to which she can be warned not to disrupt your privacy.

Dear Sir 

If both of you are adults then implication in false cases is bit difficult as you say you didn't have any intercourse.

Forcing for marriage is even difficult for parents in these times so that question is not exactly suits force but may be sort of blackmail.

Since you both were not sexually involved, I do not foresee you in a very difficult situation. This isn’t a case where you have sexually exploited her in the pretext of marriage. If at all she tries to bug you again, you may report this case to the Police.

 Just ignore her as much as possible till the time it becomes impossible to do this

See she cannot.force you to marry since you both were in a consensual relationship no case against you is maintainable and also the was no intercourse so rape case cannot be filed.

To protect your self you can give a police complaint against her that she is forcing you and intimidating you for false cases.

See if she is not following and forcing then you can wait for some time so that she moves on in life and you don't have to take burden of filing complaint against her.

Try to solve this situation mutually by talking to your girlfriend and his family members and if this does not work, then file a formal complaint before your Local police station for harassment and ask the officers to take necessary actions against her.

Think in opposite directions. In a similar situation to you can you force the girl to marry you.  No.  Nobody can force anybody to marry somebody,  not even Supreme Court force you to marry someone. 

She can not do anything legally. She can file some false case against you of course.

Initially you can make her aware that you're not interested in her and warn her that if next time if she does any messages or follow up physically or digitally you will make complaints to her parents and later in the police station.

- Will not advise at this point of time, the legal battle is not required and advisable to discuss directly to close it.

- Ensure to have all the communication very well recorded for future reference in case the girl takes any action against you.

- Also with mediation, the matter can be resolved.

Dear Sir,

As per laws for women the possibility of being framed in a case is high. It all depends upon what kind of case she is planning to drag you in. But you need not worry as still it is not been filed against you. But you need to take certain precautions which will help you to counter any false case against you. Kindly consult local advocate for further details.

- Only a relationship/love affiair not constitutes any offence, and it not necessary to convert this relation into marriage. 

- For an offence of Rape, on the promise of marriage,  there must be inercourse.

- Legally , she cannot force you to marry , and thats why till 5 years , she has not lodged any complaint against you.

No need to worry if you have all her messages which she is sending you while stalking.

She cannot force you to marry her by blackmailing you for false cases.

If she force you or blackmail you then you can lodge FIR against her for blackmailing you by putting fear of false cases against you.

If she wants to avenge you then she may try all crooked ideas to get you trapped or punished.

Hence even if she is going ahead with the compliant, you may not worry, you can obtain AB and then challenge her case in the trial proceedings  based on the documentary evidences and merits in your side.

You may first block her from all social media network including phone contacts.

If she still manage to come through any unknown number, you may block that too. 

You may even plan to issue a legal notice warning her to refrain from indulging in all such illegal activities if she is consistently stalking you through her own sources.
