Legal action as boy threatening to defame the girl using her mail
30-Jan-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My cousin was in a relationship with a boy(both Hindu)for 8months.She ended the relationship because the boy was cheating on her.One mutual friend asked about their relationship so she told him that they are not together as the boy was cheating on her.This friend revealed this conversation to the boy without informing her.The boy got angry and threatened her that he will put a defamation case on her if she doesn’t apologise over email and even sent a draft format for a formal apology.We did not want to get into any trouble so my cousin wrote the mail saying that her conversation with the mutual friend was not intended to defame him and it was a conversation between two friends.After 2-3 days the boy again wrote her a mail saying that she should keep her mouth shut and he will show the previous mail to all the common people to prove her lie.She is quite afraid as the boy even threatened to come to her house and create a scene.Are there grounds of a case of defamation against my cousin?
Na case of defamation is made out against your cousin, nothing to be worried about defamation, but it is advisable for her that she lodge a complaint against that boy for blackmailing her so that police can take action against him.
This is a prima facie advise better advise cane be given after looking to the email communications carried out between boy and girl.

If the relationship was simply friendship without getting physical then her boy friend cannot take any legal action. Regarding the matter of coming home to defame her she should take her family members in confidence by telling the facts. The Boy can be issued communication in the form of milk warning about the defamation action if at all he is contemplating against your cousin. She should say full details about the alleged e mail exchanged between them. If there is nothing like commitment then her boy friend cannot take any action. She can also give counter defamation notice to her boy friend for his conduct and threat.
