Is blackmailing for marriage after sex considered a legal offense?

I had a sexual relationship with a girl I met on Tinder. We had sex, but there was no promise of marriage. After some months, the girl asked if I would marry her, and I agreed just to avoid breaking her heart. But now, after some years, I no longer want to marry her, and she is blackmailing me, threatening to file a rape case against me if I don’t marry her.

If there was no promise of marriage and no coercion, the claim of rape is unlikely. However, if the girl is threatening blackmail, it could be considered extortion or harassment, which is a criminal offense. Document all interactions, including messages and recordings, and consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
