Dear Sir,

Blackmailing is a form of emotional abuse and, like all abuse, is about power and control. A person who uses this tactic wants to make you afraid of some consequence in order to get you to do what they want. And if your partner is threatening or blackmailing you with fake offenses like rape or sexual assault, it is a serious issue and is a punishable offense.

Stand by Your Boundaries

If you feel like it is safe for you to resist, your best option might be to stand your ground and not give in to the threats. This is often an easier way to stop them from doing more damage, but giving in to the threats usually doesn’t make them stop forever. In fact, it can intensify your partner’s sense of control, and the threats might even become more extreme in the future. It’s possible your partner won’t follow through on their threats.


Turn to Your Support System

A support system like your friend or parent etc. can help you stay strong and feel supported during a difficult time.
 

Save All Proof

If your partner is sending you threats via text, email, social media or voice messages, save everything. Take screenshots and keep them in a safe place, like a password-protected file or account, or you could send copies to a trusted friend or family member if your partner has access to your computer or phone. This is a way to document the threats and abuse should you choose to take legal action.


 Police Complaint

If your Partner's blackmail or threats continues to grow or become violent, you should lodge a police complaint to the nearest police station or alternatively issue a lawyer's notice to your partner.

You don't worry. And don't get blackmailed. Even if you be with her she will black mail you some or other time. If she is harrasing you then you can file a police complaint against her

Hi

Be strong.  This suicide is a task of cowards . Face it and the problem will be resolved.

You should file a complaint with the police against the harassment and police will help you out to recover the photos and videos from that lady.

If possible take your wife in confidence and proceed.

If you dnt want to disclose this thing to your wife then mention this to police and proceed with the complaint. 

Once you get your stuff recovered from her then you can let her go or get her prosecuted. 

Thanks.

If she will do this, her life will be ruin. Since both are married, no case of rape agasint you. Tell her straight, if she did any nuisance than same you will inform to her family and husband.

She is just boasting, none married women could take such chance. Just avoid her absolute and record her threats. Having extra marital affair no harm on job.

You may have to gather courage to face the consequences also if she's really going to inform parents about this illicit affairs. 

Please think it over that the problem at your home will be temporary and after that your people will will pardon and accept you even in case she informs your parents and others about this extra marital affairs. 

At the same time you should feel relieved that this problem will come to an end forever by this. 

Hence you stand against her and take proper action to curb this continuing menace.

1. Having an affair out side the marriage is no longer a crime as per IPC.

 

2. So legally she can not do anything to you even if you had physical relationship with her.

 

3. The only problem is your family members who might not take the said thing very kindly.

 

4. If the pics do not prove physical relationship, then deny any short of such relationship and that teh pics sent by her are morphed.

 

5. You can lodge a police complaint against her and her husband for threatening you to send morphed pics of yourself with her to your family unless you pay them heavily.

- Supreme court declared that , when  a man and a woman in love live together , is part of the right to life and not a criminal offence, and further live-in relationships is legal in India.

- Since, the said girl is black mailing you in the garb of relationship, hence her such act is against the law.

- You should lodge a complaint/information with police for your safety against her for extortion under section 384 of IPC, and for threatening to implicate in false cases.

1. You dug your own grave.

2. The only solution is to file a police complaint against her for threatening to implicate you and hitting you under Section 323 and 389 IPC.

3. Now adultery is no longer a criminal offence as Section 497 IPC has been struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
