Can I be jailed if girl files false cheating case?

I had an online relationship with a girl for two years, with no physical intercourse. I told her from the start that my family had issues with marriage. She continued the relationship but is now forcing me to marry and threatening to file a cheating case using WhatsApp chats. Can I be punished under Section 376 or other IPC?

If the relationship was mutual and no force or false promise was made, Section 376 (rape) usually does not apply. You can show proof (chats, messages) that you were honest from the beginning. If she files a false case, apply for anticipatory bail and contest it legally with proper documentation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
