What to do if my boyfriend blackmails me


24-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My boyfriend / fiance after we got engaged. He and his parents have demanded a luxury car and a grand wedding obviously to show her relatives. When we denied then he said that he cannot face rejection and denial, so will reveal all my pictures shared by me to everyone which are not supposed to show. As we were together from last 9 years obviously we shared a strong connection. He Said directly to father that will make an account and publise everything over there. So many things needs to discuss about this case. Somebody help. He and his father are threatening everyone in my family. My father is not keeping well. Now that guy wants 10lac for hiding all this. Its been a month he is abusing everyone here. I apologise him for no mistake but now he want revenge. He can force me to marry. I just want to move on in my life.

This is illegal on his part to click private pictures and threatening to publicize them amounts to extortion. Further they can also be booked for demanding dowery.
You can LODGE an FIR and send them to their appropriate residence i.e. Jail

You can approach the police station near you and filed written complaint against them for threatened you and for the demand of dowry.
If you have any voice recording or any video recording or chat them attached it with complaint and police official recovered your picture and protect you....no one can forced you get marriage. Don’t worry

It's really unfortunate that inspite of being into a relationship with u since last 9 yrs he has been making such demands, I have been into legal profession since last 9 yrs and what I have observed during this period is that a social evil of dowry is generally practised in arrange marraiges but it's really surprise for me that people have become so money minded nowadays that the person with whom u have been sharing everything since last 9 yrs just because of this feeling called love is now harassing u and your family for Dowry. Firstly I would like to congratulate u for taking such a wise and strong headed decision of moving out of this relationship and Secondly I would like to tell u that u don't have to feel like a helpless lady who has been slogged over by her lover/boyfriend. U need to take strong legal action against him and his family members by registering an FIR against him for raping u by luring u to marry. N now he is denying that he will only marry u if u n and ur family will fulfil his unwanted and unreasonable demands of dowry and if your family does not fulfil their demands then they are threatning u to face dire consequences.
