Girlfriend threatening to take legal action if I don't marry her


29-Apr-2023 (In Family Law)
I had relationship with a girl for past 1 year. I never commited her regarding marriage. We had sex on few occasions. We had lots of fight in our relationship & she is too agressive & i didn;t felt that bonding with her & also i know that i won't be able to live happily if we marry. I broke up with her at last. Now after 1 month from break up she is threatening me to take legal action if i don't continue relationship with her & marry her. Though I had never given her commitment of marriage, she is now forcing me to give commitment too, else she will report to police & spoil my career & reputation for not continuing relationship & marrying her. What shall i do now? Is she can do some damage?. I am hindu & she is also hindu. Also my parents are against this marriage too.

As you say that you have not made any commitment of marrying her but had sex with her. Presumably physical contact was with her consent. If yes, then her education, age and background come into picture. if she is well qualified and mature enough means if she is capable of taking her own decision then you need not to worry. However, in our part of country, if she approaches Police with the complaint in said eventuality, Police shall register an FIR and investigate the matter. It may or may not arrest you. You shall be having the right of going for anticipatory bail in case of registration of FIR. My advise to you, is not to have sex with her in future.

Marriage is favorable for you. Nothing other chance for you. She will file a case of 376 on you. After that 3month non bailable warrant issue. Your carrer is finished after time . So its only chance in this case just try her to understand to live sepratly ,,

It is in your interest to resolve the issue with her otherwise you know law is pro women these days.Since she can file FIR u/S 376 IPC ie rape.The Police as per amendment in CrPC will have to regd FIR on her sole statement even without preliminary enquiry.In such cases even to get anticipatory bail is really difficult.

My suggestion to you is to amicable settle the matter out of the court , if you two dont see a future make her understand the same. and the difference that you two have. if she reports the matter to the police. definately you will have to face action. and the matter will be up in court though you might eventually settle the case but you will have to face criminal trail and apply for bail.
