If your boyfriend had a false promise of marriage and induced you into a physical relationship without genuine intention to marry, it may amount to an offence. Courts have held that consent obtained on a false promise of marriage can be treated as no consent, attracting Section 376 IPC (rape) only if it is proven that the promise was dishonest from the very beginning. If the relationship was consensual and the decision to marry changed later due to family pressure, it may not attract criminal liability, though it can still cause emotional harm. Filing a complaint anonymously You cannot proceed with a full criminal case anonymously, as investigation requires your identity and statement. However, you can initially approach: A Women’s Police Cell Mahila Helpline (181 / 112) State Women’s Commission These forums allow confidential counselling and mediation without immediately disclosing details to your parents. Informing parents There is no legal requirement to inform your parents if you are a major (18+). Authorities generally respect the woman’s privacy, especially in sensitive matters. Important advice Preserve evidence (messages, chats, call records, photos). Consult a female lawyer or legal aid centre before taking any step. Do not file a criminal case in anger—understand the legal consequences fully. If you want, I can also explain civil remedies, police procedure, or what evidence is legally important.
