Need legal advice
I am Sunitha Sharma from Mumbai. A year ago I had an extra marital affair with somene I loved in my college days. Now I am out of it. But the wife of Prem had seen all the online chats (including sex chat )on Prems computer and has the secret phone bills that we used. Though Prem and I are not in a relationship now, she (wife of Prem) has been threatening me over phone almost every couple of days that she would disclose this affair to my husband, children and my parents and put me to shame. She has been sending me threatening messages that she would die and is cursing me and my children every couple of days. This is affecting me psychologically. I am not able to concentrate on my work and am pained mentally living in fear. I know I made a mistake and I am out of the affair now. Kindly let me know if there is any solution to this problem legally with appropriate sections.

Hi, it is better you talk her directly and tried to convince her.......... as you admit you have committed a mistake but thing is that she can't take any legal action against you but disclosing these facts to your husband and children it will affect your personnel life.
kindly keep in mind that every body makes mistake and there is no harm in accepting mistakes,your husband may be disturbed for few days but later become comfortable if he does not have any other issue with you,it is just that this time it is you and he could have also being in your position. now a days these things are very common in society and you are not an exception. This is what i can advise you ,decision is yours
Thank you all for your help. My intensions are not to take a case against her legally as I know that I have done a mistake and regret it. Though Prem and I are not in touch, she still calls me and threatens me that she is going to take her life and every time she abuses me with very bad words that I am unable to hear. I fear her a lot. Is there any section in Indian law to prevent such threats like in my case. I just want to point out the sections to make her stop calling me and abusing me continuously. I tried convincing her that there is nothing between her husband and me now, but she just wants to take revenge by disclosing everything and putting me to shame.

Legally speaking, you may file a police complaint of harassment against her. However, exercise of this legal remedy is fraught with a risk of turmoil ensuing in your life in as much as she may disclose your extra-marital affair to your husband and other relatives. Your husband may react in the same manner as any husband would react on discovering proof of his wife's infidelity. Consequently, your marriage may be on rocks. You need to handle the situation in a deft manner to extricate yourself out of it.

1) change your telephone number . the lady must not be having your residential details .
2) if at all she files case of adultery against her husband you cannot be punished as under law women is regarded as a victim .
3) till your number is changed record all her telephone calls . inform the lady that if you continue those calls you will be forced to file police complaint against her for criminal intimidation .
4) ask your ex lover Prem to talk to his wife and warn him that if dosent act you would be forced to file police complaint against his wife .
5) never bow down to these threats . if lady had wanted to tell your husband she would have done it by now . she is merely keeping you on tenterhooks by calling you and threatening you .
If anyone is liable to be punished it is your friend for committing adultery. your problem is more of a social nature then legal. disclose the fact to your husband to avoid embarrassment.
