354B is a non compoundable offence. Because its a serious offence against women. Messeging without willingness of a women is also a type of stalking. 354b is an cognigable and non bailable serious offence

No section 354b is not compoundable. "Assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe that is section 354b". Messaging and missed call is fall under section 354d that is stalking. Show me the FIR.

No, section 354B is non-compoundable offence but there are certain remedies available to you. 1. You can go to concerned High Court for quashing of said FIR on the basis of compromise between the parties. 2. Another option which is available to you to seek Anticipatory bail from the session court.
