Punishment for getting out of a live in relations ship

She can file a complaint gainst you.  if it is 376 you will be arrested immediately.  So my advise is better settle the matter amicably.

agreed with Mr Rajoo.  You are vulnerable.

u may be charged with sections 417,420,493 i donot think they will file case under 376, because both of u had agreed to have s*x  and were living to gether.if u have  proof  for that , nevertheless all sections are equally vulnerable as 376, 

Before your live in partener file a case of 376 ipc on you, you must collect evidences to show live in relationship and also file a case of 389.386,387 ipc. feel free to call me on 9411649201

Thank you all for prompt replies!

So I have ample proof that we were living together with mutual consent. I have 4-5 friends who can testify to that. I have our tenant identification form submitted at loca pilocie station showing that we were renting a flat together. Is it sufficient?

So I guess I don't need to worry about 376. Now regarding other sections like 417, 420, 493: what is the maximum time I can be senteced? What should I do (what kind of evidences, witnesses) so that I get minimum possilbe sentence.

And Rashid: 386, 387, 389 doesn't apply as she wants to marry me, only if I don't marry her then they will go to court. Marriage proposal and going to court , none of this is a threat. is it?

Bottom line is that I know I have done wrong with her, and I want to know what is the minimum sentence I can get assumming I hire a very good lawyer and have sufficient evidence of what I said in my 1st post.

Thanks a lot again guys!

one more thing, I never made promise to marry her. I know she would file case sayinh "false pretext of mariage" but that never happenned and I don't she can provide any kind of evidence or witness in this regard. Doesn't this weekens her case? Would court just blindly belive what she says? wouldn't court need some evidence of what she is saying?

let her file a case, then we will take a call on this, we cannot answer hypothetical questions.

you are confident enough

To make my point clear: I want to know  what is the best and worst sentence I may face if she files the case. if Best case scenario is that I have to do atlest 2 years in jail then I would prefer to marry her. If best case is that I can get a claen chit then I will let her file the case.

Mr Raghvan: I used to think that lawyers consider all hyppthetical questions/situations which can possibly arise during trial. Obviously I can't wait for her to file the case as then half the battel is already lost.

better read these sections
