1. You should show some courage to teach a lesson to this man. File a police complaint for rape, criminal intimidation and outraging the modesty of a woman as these are offences committed by him.

2. Manhani i.e defamation is not made out if he has not made pictures public.

You did not great mistake of succumbing to his pressure tactics at the first palace. At that point of tie you could have gone to Police.

Now it is not later atll. Go to police and lodge a complaint of blackmailing and cyber offence. Involve his parents as well who apparently helped their son.

You have no idea what sort of legal hurdle they will face once you lodge the complaint.

Do not waste time and lodge the complaint asap , punish the criminals of heinous crime and protect your dignity and self respect.

Hello,

1) You have not made any mistake, you succumbed to pressure and became a victim of circumstances.

2) You need to get over the past and do not allow your tormentors to continue to torment you. Take steps to give them the punishment that they deserve. You can file a complaint for rape under section 376 of IPC and for criminal intimidation u/s 506.

3. You can also file complaint with the police regarding outraging your modesty. As your husband and in laws are now aware of the situation, take them into confidence and get their support in going ahead with the case.

1. How could your brother take few photo's of yours at the initial stage? What were those photographs? Did you agree for your cousin's taking your said photographs? After that did both of your cousins had physical relationship with you? Were you photographed at that time also? Unless these matters are cleared by you t is difficult to give proper suggestion,

2. You stated "but i feel that if i turn off they will take some legal action to spoil my family.because may be he kept some photos with him". Your said statement has no substance and merit in it. they can not take any legal action against you rather you can take legal action against them for taking your obscene photographs,

3. Disconnect all your relationship with them now and

4. Lodge a police complaint if they ever tries to blackmail you after audio recording their conversations.

As advised earlier, you should file a police complaint for rape, criminal intimidation and outraging the modesty of a woman against this woman. It is the duty of the state to prosecute this man. You do not have to spend any money on the legal process.

Hello,

1) As is evident from the previous query you made, it is an instance of coercion and exploitation which is a crime that needs to be punished.

2) You need to rise out of the feeling of self pity and initiate legal steps to bring the culprits to book.

3) As posted in the earlier reply you need file criminal cases against the perpetrators to bring them to justice.

1. Do not worry for any photograph if you had not indulged in to any s*xual acitivities with them,

2. Do not indulge in to s*x with them,oral or otherwise, since they may now take your photograph and start blackmailing you,

3. If they give any threat to you ask your husband to lodge a police complaint against them,

4. Do not admit any where that you had oral or any type of s*x with them.

The so called blackmails holding the obscene photos are illegal acts.

Let him be rich and powerful, it will not give him licence to spoil your married life. Moreover it is more than 12 years after your marriage now so there is no reason to fear about his threats anymore.

Further, due to his threats you have already surrendered to him once earlier, if you indicate that you still afraid of him then he may take advantage at this stage too. Just ignore him and his calls, infact your decision to quit their relationship is a better decision. Nobody can force relationship on anyone, if there is any pressure, you may lodge a criminal complaint against him and see how he reacts. With your husband's support, you may ensure that a FIR is registered after which he may realise the seriousness and may avoid even talking about you.
