hi, I have a friend who once got friend request from widow, who is actually belongs to SC community and also having twin kids. He accepted the friend request and started chatting and then love. In the beginning itself he never agreed for marriage and she also said ok in the beginning. they both lived in live-in relationship for 3 months. she went back to her house and Now almost after 6 months she and her family started threatening him for marriage or else she will commit sucide. and also they are planning to put a case against him. He don't want to marry her because she got kids.
he belongs to general category. Now how he can survive and get safe . please give suggestions.
Hi. From the facts that you have mentioned, following are the suggestions that can help your friend:
First of all, the fact that he cleared his intention of not marrying her, in the very beginning, to the woman, is a strong factor. Also, the woman agreed to his condition and knowingly continued with the relationship.
The second aspect is that of live in relationship. As has been mentioned by you, they continued to be in a live-in relationship for 3 months, which cannot be considered as a long period of time. As has been stated in the case of Badri Prasad v. Dy. Director of Consolidation and ors., that when the partners have lived together as a live-in couple for a long spell of time, only then there can be sone probability of them to be considered as husband and wife. But in your case, your friend had very much cleared his intentions before entering the live-in relationship and she consented to it.
In addition to that, she came back after 6 months and she along with her family started threating. This gap of time can act as an evidence to show that the threatening was a planned thing. The threatening is an offence under section 503 of the IPC.
The filing of a false FIR is punishable under section 182 and 211 of IPC.
