• Breaking unmarried relationship legally

Hi, 
I was in love relationship from 2015 . But as I was not happy with the same I decided to breakup. But my gf created several scenes and blackmailed me for going legal. We were also physically intimidated with each other. Somehow she agreed and signed a notarised document stating that we will not interfere in each other life nor be responsible for anything in future. 
But as notarised document is not a legal proof she again started to force for marriage.
I want some quick option to get some legal proof of seperation so that afterwards she may not interfere in my life nor even blackmail me by any means as she and her family is ready for the same.

Hi, However there is no precaution that can be taken to restrain her from initiating a legal proceeding against you , the best you can do is to male her parents also sigh the the same notarised affidavit, so that it can become more authenticative

1) You get legally married with other girl ASAP. So she will become your legal wife and your girlfriend won't force you for marriage.

2) Like this type of live in relationship are also treated as marriage in the law. If girl come to know regarding this, she can file case for alimony and maintenance. Supreme court had given decision on it.

no legal instrument is binding for this. You need to simply persuade her to move on in the life and convince her that you have settled and there is nothing left between both of you. The time is gone and she will not be able to prove any sexual allegations etc.

You need no legal separation, not even the notarised affidavit(there's no need of this affidavit).

Just because you were in a relationship with your girlfriend and you both were also physically involved with each other, she cannot coerce you to marry her.

Can same notarised document be registered in registrar office to make that more authentic?

Ans. There's no need for this.

At anytime her harassment becomes unbearable, approach the Police and lodge a FIR against her.

You can rely upon notarised agreement wherein girl friend agreed not to interfere in your life

Don’t bow down to blackmail tactics

Consensual sex is no offence

Register a information come police complaint stating that you break up really back and the girl is intimidating you and forcing for marriage.

A notariesed document is not valid neither it shall be registered it is invalid under indian contract act. So contact police give a complaint break all ties.

1. Since there is no marital tie between you two, there is hence no legal requirement for severing this through course of law or otherwise.

2. So you need not execute any affidavit nor its notarisation is necessary.

3. As there is no legal sanctity in your relationship you can just move away from her life.

4. Do note that even if you make such agreement she can always lodge false complaint of rape ir sexual exploitation.

Dear Concerned,

WHO EVER has suggested you to go for a documented proof of this relationship has opened deep pits for you. Really shocking to read that a notarized settlement agreement has been signed between yourself and your girlfriend. WHY HAVE YOU brought this relationship on paper when their was no legal identity of your relationship.

NOW - dont get into more trouble - dont get any such document prepared. JUST IGNORE THIS GIRL - There are high p[possibilities that this girl wont do anything and is just threatening you. HOWEVER if you are sure that she might take such a step - you may choose to file an intimation to your nearest police station about the blackmailing by this girl , which might come handy if she creates any issues in future.

On the other hand we still suggest JUST ignore this girl - dont speak to her , dont meet her , things might settle in few weeks.

Best of Luck

Notarized documents has no value so better convince her and her family. If they still try to persuade you for marriage better shift to some other place or get married to other girl. Yet there may be legal consequences she may file rape undercover pretext of marriage.

If you were in livin relationship she may file domestic violence and claim maintenance too.

Only thing left to you is to either convince her or shift to some other district and change your phone number and don't be in touch with her.

As and when police give you receiving for the said letter, send a copy of the same to the girl and in my opinion this will be sufficient protection for you.

Affidavit will not have any strong evidentiary value.

1. How did you arrive at the conclusion that notarised document is not a legal proof ?

2. It is very much an evidence.

3. However, you have a very simple solution as stated under.

a. do not react or answer her calls and severe all connections with her.

b. if he creates any problem, lodge a police complaint against her for harassing you.

c. if police refuses to register FIR, file a Writ Petition before the High Court against police inaction praying for a direction upon police ton register FIR, investigate and act as per law based on your said complaint.

1.The said document is very much an evidence accepted by law.

2. You need not have any such document and still ask her not to disturb you and have the right to refuse to marry her.

Since you both have no legally valid relationship between you both, you are not bound by any obligations.

Hence you cannot demand any such separation deed from her.

Only thing that you got to be careful is that she may file a criminal complaint against you for cheating offences under section 417 IPC.

Can same notarised document be registered in registrar office to make that more authentic.

You cannot just like that register any document with the registrar.

Even if you register the same it is not legally enforceable because the contract is void if there is no consideration making it valid is missing.

There is no such legal documents you can execute for separation of a relationship or love affair. You can file a police Complaint if she harrasses you.
