A girl on matrimonial website blackmailing me to marry her

The answer depends on a lot of things as follows: -
1. Did you marry in India as per Indian Laws?
2. Is your wife an Indian citizen?
3. Is the matrimonial website, an Indian Website?
4. Is that girl that you started chatting to, an Indian citizen?

If the answer to all the above questions is yes, then she does have a right to file a complaint against you.

Although the effects of the complaint will largely depend on whether she is able to prove her allegations, whatever they are.
Effects will also depend on which country you stay in and whether the country has an extradition treaty with India.

When you say personal things, I hope you did not share anything that will be considered as proof against you.

That being said, she does not have any right to get your Visa cancelled. The Visa is issued by the country that you live in. Even if you are being prosecuted in India for any offence, all the powers regarding a Visa vest with the issuing country.

Also, whether the girl (I am assuming she is an Indian Citizen) can be filed in India, largely depends on nature of the website, location of servers, ownership of website and other factors.

I would suggest that you do not take any action till you actually receive a legal notice of any kind. Although I would also suggest that you consult a professional with all the details just to be safe.

Dear,
You are legally not liable for anything whats so ever. She may file a complaint but that will have any legal standing.
Yet as a precaution you may approach the Indian Embassy or Consulate. They have the powers to entertain the complaint.

For detailed information on how to tackle this case without any hassles please contact me on the details which shall be shared with you by lawrato.
