Unmarried father of a 3 year old child from a casual relationship , mother of the child is forcing to get married now
3 years ago
We had a two time casual relationship after which she said she is pregnant and wants to abort. We tried to abort it but could not because of her medical difficulties. We mutually decided that we will not be In a relationship from the very beginning but I requested to support the child as he had medical conditions and I did not want to run away from responsibilities. I decided to stay together as flatmates and help the child get through as it was not his fault that he came to the world. Right now the child is fine but she is threatening to kill me if I move on with life, she is also threatening my girlfriend. She is making me suicidal as she is calling and shouting in front of neighbours and accusing me. She also tried to hurt the child she is not mentally stable. I want to leave everything and go and if possible take the custody of the child as she is a crazy woman. Can I go to jail for this

2. though your relationship with the lady was a bilateral agreement, yet, if she makes any complaint in the police you will found yourself in grave crisis,
you may be charged with rape on the false promise of marriage, sexual harassment, beatings, threats, etc and the kid is the live awake proof of the same.
try to settle the matter amicably by convincing her,
alternatively,
you can make a police complaint against her, taking your family in trust, for blackmailing, extortion of money, mental harassment, etc. but it won't help you much.

Also, marriage is not a bar to claim compensation from you. Hence, instead of it being imposed on you, by forcing the woman to to approach courts and taking orders; you may offer to support her by providing monetary assistance. Alternatively, both of you may seek assistance of counselor/therapist to see if any amicable solution can be arrived at and the woman can also undergo counseling for any apprehensions that she might have.
It will also be traumatic for the child to see his parents fighting in front of him and hinder his development. Failing any amicable solutions, in order to avoid further acrimonious situations, it is better for you to move out and take further steps legally.
Secondly the lady also have certain rights against which she can invoke any time. Also she can lodge criminal complaints against you for domestic violence, torture and even rape (possibly).
