How can lady get divorce if husband blackmails her against it


17-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
 I've been in a relationship with a married woman from the past 4 months. She comes from an abusive marriage and hence forth had proceeded with the legal procedure of divorcing the husband last month. Her husband has somehow blackmailed her in getting back with him by telling her that he will ruin my life if she proceeds with the divorce. He has told her that he has evidence regarding me in terms of messages and some videos and can also trace messages on whatsapp. He has put her in a position where she cannot even discuss this with her family or with anyone for that matter because I would have to bear the repercussions. What can I do to help her? What can she do to get out of this?

Dear Client,
Legally it is not valid under law to have relationship with a married woman without her getting divorce from her former husband. Whether you have a married person or not. If you are a married person it equally bad in law to have a contact with that woman even after divorce as you are spouse living. Apart from what I have said it is left for you to go ahead with her or not. Have opinion of expert advocates before going to proceed to continue relationship with a married woman.

Hi
In your case, you need to wait for the girl to come back to you.
In all fairness, law perceives you as an adulteror and as such you are liable to be penalised under Section 497 .
So the girl might be choosing to avoid you / be silent only in your interest.
So better to wait for the girl to come back.
