Legal Clarification Regarding Promises of Marriage and Threats

Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Harini, and I am writing to seek confidential legal advice regarding a personal and emotionally sensitive matter. I will soon be relocating to the United Kingdom to pursue higher education, and I wish to understand my legal rights and protections before leaving India. Please note that I do not wish to file a police complaint at this stage, I only want to be informed about my legal options in case any issue arises in the future. I have been in a committed relationship with a man for the past five years, during which we were physically involved. Throughout this time, he made repeated promises of marriage and a future together, which I believed and trusted. However, he has now ended the relationship abruptly. He threatened me stating that if I speak to his parents about the relationship, he will take negative steps to prevent me from pursuing my education abroad, including potential legal actions or other forms of interference. Additionally, he made an unusual and alarming demand: he said that if I want to marry him, I must agree in advance to give him a divorce whenever he asks for it in the future. This conditional statement made me extremely uncomfortable and added further emotional distress. Due to this sudden betrayal and manipulation, I am undergoing deep emotional trauma and find it difficult to focus on my academic and professional goals. I do have evidence of his threats and manipulative behaviour, but at this moment I only wish to proceed with calmness and legal awareness, without jeopardizing my visa process, mental health, or safety. I would be grateful for your guidance on the following: 1. Am I legally allowed to speak with his parents or elders without fear of retaliation? 2. Can I take any precautionary legal steps in India before moving to the UK? 3. In the future, would I be able to pursue legal action or file a case from abroad if necessary? 4. What protections do I have under Indian law in cases of emotional abuse, manipulation, and coercion involving marriage promises? If possible, I would prefer to speak with a female legal advisor, as this matter is deeply personal and emotionally distressing. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. I am only seeking legal clarity and peace of mind before I begin a new chapter in my life abroad. Your help and advice would mean a lot.
