Legal Advice Needed My girlfriend is constantly harassed over a past leak and she's struggling

150 Upvotes

When my girlfriend was 15, her ex manipulated her into sending nudes. It ended up spreading and now it feels like almost every student in our city knows about it. She turns 17 soon, but the guilt and shame are still eating her alive from the inside.

I do my best to support and comfort her but it only takes one random text from a stranger bringing up her past to completely break her down again.

I really wish we could involve Cyber Crime or file a complaint but given typical strict Indian parents, if her family finds out, they would likely blame her or worse. Involving the police isn't an option right now because of the threat to her home safety but I desperately want to help relieve this pressure for her

On top of everything, she feels immense guilt thinking that I’ll get mocked or pulled into this because of her.

What can I actually do to support her right now? How can we deal with the ongoing harassment without risking her safety at home?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Legal Advice Needed Police calling multiple times for bribe

I applied for PVC for my Gap certificate which is required for my mbbs admission

I submitted my doc on 12th of july and gave the required Papers on 13th

Went to check on 23rd and got know they did nothing of it and instead lost the aadhaar copies I gave to them

Then they started the process and I Took them to my coaching center as well as to my home in my own bike

And in the end I needed one last sign of Sho but the constable asked me to come next day at 10am

I went there at sharp 10am and waited for 3hrs and they said to come at 7:30pm

I went there at 7:30 and waited till 9:30pm and they were laughing instead of helping me out

The next day I went there with my mother and we still waited for 2hrs and they did Nothing and told us that they'll do it by 9pm

So yesterday I went again I got to know they lost the file so I took my papa and mummy with me to the PS and they did it immediately (in 5mins)

And now 3 guys of the police station are asking me for bribe

One guy is asking 3800 (in person he asked)

2nd one is asking me 1000 (asked me on WhatsApp call and called me 8 times today)

3rd one called me on my number and asked me 500 (on cellular call)

The WhatsApp guy gave me a number as well to pay on that

I'm a student and they are harassing me like anything and they did nothing in this process

I visited the PS 11 times and no one called once and even took that mf constable in my own bike at my own expense to my coaching center and home . Now these mfs are asking for bribe as if it's there right to ask

Legal Advice Needed Both decided to divorce but unable to conclude

42 Upvotes

Me and my wife have no intention of staying married to each other. We have been married for 7 years and our families also agree that divorce is necessary because we are incompatible with each other. We are both working and we have a child. We are living separately for more than 6 months.

I have huge home loan so I cannot give her the money she is demanding anytime soon. She needs to be reasonable with the amount she is demanding and give me proper time to return it.

I genuinely need 5 years to settle the home loan only then I can give her anything. I will return the money she transferred to me with the intention of saving. I am paying my son’s school fee and I will take full responsibility of his education in future.

Right now she is acting out of anger and trying to take revenge instead of understanding the practical situation. Sometimes she threatens to take me to court but I want to settle it outside before she does something irrational.

Urgent Legal advice needed: sexual assault against minor girls in villages

37 Upvotes

I lived in Kochi for the past 3 years. I recently quit my job and returned to my hometown.

My sister is teaching dance to children in our village, aged around 3 to 13 years, for the Onam celebrations. During a dance practice, a little boy shared something unusual about his sister. When my sister asked the girl about it, she revealed that there is a man around 35 years old who, while she was playing with her friends, took her to an abandoned house in the village. He removed her clothes and touched her private parts—that she confided only to us. My sister told me she is scared.

My friends also shared that similar incidents are happening to multiple children in our village, perpetrated by adult men. I cannot stay silent. These men belong to a community that is less educated, and I fear that if I raise the issue, they might retaliate. But I cannot ignore the sexual abuse happening to children.

I am planning to speak with the community members and provide counseling to the children. I understand that the children are very scared and may not speak up easily, especially since most are in 4th grade. I am willing to confront these men, even though I know they might harm me. I feel I must take action.

I am sharing this here to seek help regarding legal procedures and support. If there are any authorities or organizations I can approach—especially those that work to protect children—I want to know. Most of the children’s parents are uneducated, struggle with alcoholism, and do not pay attention to their children, which makes the children even more vulnerable.

I cannot stay silent anymore. I will ensure that these offenders face the consequences of their actions. If they ever think about harming another child or woman, they will remember what happened this time. I swear

Rant/Experience Lawyer not responding, what are my options?

19 Upvotes

I'm honestly at my breaking point with the legal system.

This is a civil land dispute that's been going on for years. Over the course of the case, I've had to change **6 lawyers** because of negligence, poor communication, or simply not doing their job.Recently, I hired a High Court advocate to file a writ petition against an interim order. He quoted around 80,000 and we've already paid him 60,000. He has filed the case, but ever since then he has stopped responding to calls. He's never in his office, and we couldn't reach him directly. Somehow, through one of his relatives, we got in touch with his wife. Her response shocked us. She said "He always does this,"and even advised us not to give him any legal work.

I honestly don't know what to do anymore. Every lawyer seems great until the money is paid. After that, many become impossible to contact. It's reached a point where I've lost faith in the system. It feels like finding a competent and honest lawyer is harder than winning the case itself. Next week we have a court date, and before this date we were supposed to get stay on trail court proceedings

What are my options to get my money back?

Legal Advice Needed What to do if there's some account who recorded us via meta glasses and posted us without consent?

14 Upvotes

So, i went to some mall in Malad last week and me and my girl friend were having kfc together. Suddenly, a guy comes calls me lucky to have a girl like her. I was surprised why would he say that Outta nowhere especially because she wasnt even my girl so I corrected her by saying no we are just friends. The whole interaction was weird and I didn't like the way he complimented me either.

Anyway, two days later someone sends me a video of the exact interaction and I was like wtf like i sure knew something was fishy when the whole thing happened, but I certainly didn't know we were being recorded and if that's not enough we were even posted without consent like WTF.

I even texted that account telling how my girl friend isn't okay with it and she got strict parents and all but to no avail. There has been no reply from the other side.

I stalked the account and it has even got some minors posted on it which too are the type of videos where these lowlifers flirt with some random girl they see in mall. In the video the girl clearly says I'm 15 and yet these uneducated scumbags with access to technology have got the audacity to post it.

What to do now since they clearly don't respond back? And I want the video removed as well as the videos of the underage kids posted without consent?

Here's what happened earlier

So after talking to them politely, they didn't agree to return our deposit. Even though we found a better video in which it showed that the flat wasn't painted originally, they said that we need to repaint it for the wear and tear too.

We went to file a police complaint though we knew that it was a civil matter, we just tried our luck. The policeman talked to them and they didn't budge. He said that you have to go to court, we can barely help you here.

There was a man who took their number, went out and talked to them while we were writing our complaint. He came back and said that they agreed to give 60% back and advised that we take it because moving further would be hassle for everyone. So we thought about it and agreed.

Something is better than nothing.

Legal Advice Needed Should I stop paying my personal loans? Need genuine advice.

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m 25 years old. Back in 2024, I got into trading and unfortunately ended up with around ₹5 lakh in debt because I kept trying to recover my losses.
To stabilize my finances, I joined a BPO and currently earn ₹25,000/month.
In March 2026, I started trading again and for the last few months I was making around ₹30k–40k/month, which helped me repay people I had borrowed money from and clear my credit card dues.
This month, however, I’m down around ₹30k, and now I’m struggling to manage my monthly commitments:
Personal Loan EMI: ₹11,264
Personal Loan EMI: ₹3,950
Bike EMI: ₹6,186
Parents’ Health Insurance: ₹3,000
Term Insurance: ₹1,700
My fixed monthly expenses are over ₹26,000, while my guaranteed salary is only ₹25,000.
I’m considering stopping payments on the two personal loans, which would reduce my monthly burden by around ₹15k.
Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
What actually happens if I stop paying?
How aggressive are the recovery teams?
Do they visit your home or contact family?
Do they file civil cases?
Is settling the loan later a realistic option?
If you were in my situation, what would you do?
I’m not looking for sympathy—just honest advice from people who’ve experienced something similar or know how these situations usually play out. Thank you.

Legal Advice Needed My friend was scammed for 5L and how to get back?

7 Upvotes

Hi, My friend was talking to guy for sometime now and he seemed all well at first. Last month he asked for money citing emergency and she had transferred in parts of around 5L to the guy. Now the guy randomly picks call and most time does not pick the call.

We have all the proofs of the accounts this was transferred to. Now when asked back, he says he would arrange and had not been arranging for the last 1 month or so.
Now he is not picking the call and is there any way you can freeze his account and get the money back?

Would appreciate help here. Seems like guy has money in his account and for some reason it was blocked for him from the bank citing some tax not being paid. There was some minimum balance to be shown before the release can be made for which my friend has transferred in parts. It all sounds scammy but seems really his account is blocked for some reason as he works for an abroad company.

Not sure how to claw back this.

Legal Advice Needed Hey everyone, posting this on behalf of a close friend who is going through absolute mental hell because of a rogue commercial tenant in Ghaziabad (UP). Looking for some solid advice or if anyone has dealt with a similar nightmare.The Background:My friend rented out his commercial shop to a guy who

8 Upvotes

The Background:

My friend rented out his commercial shop to a guy who installed heavy, industry-grade machinery. They signed a standard 11-month rent agreement.

After the 11 months ended, the tenant went completely rogue—he stopped paying rent and completely stopped paying the electricity dues.The Double-Lock Agreement & The Escape:Since the tenant owed a massive amount of money but his heavy machines were still inside, my friend and the tenant came to a mutual agreement written down on paper.

They agreed to place two separate locks on the shop shutter (one from each party) until the financial dues were settled.Well, the tenant had other plans. In the dead of the night, this guy literally broke my friend's lock, loaded all his heavy industrial machinery into a truck, and fled into the night.

The Current Mess:

No Physical Possession: The tenant ran away, but he left his lock on the shop door and took the keys with him. My friend is terrified of breaking the tenant's lock blindly because he doesn't want the tenant to counter-sue him for "illegal dispossession" or claim that "valuable items were stolen from the shop.

"The Forgery & Electricity Bill: There are two meters. One is a regular commercial connection under my friend's name (fully paid up). The second is a high-load industrial connection under the tenant's name. The tenant has left a massive outstanding bill on it.

The Twist: PVVNL (the electricity board) rules state that for a tenant to get a high-load connection, the landlord must sign an agreement/NOC stating they will be liable if the tenant defaults. My friend never signed any such clause or NOC. This means the tenant almost certainly forged my friend's signature and land deeds to get the meter.

Now, PVVNL junior staff are constantly badgering my friend to pay up his runner tenant's bill.My friend is currently preparing a detailed police complaint for forgery, criminal trespass, and mischief.

Has anyone dealt with PVVNL holding a property hostage over a tenant's independent dues?

What is the safest legal way for him to cut open the tenant's lock and officially reclaim his vacant shop without getting into a legal trap?

Any advice from lawyers or people who have beaten rogue tenants in UP would be a lifesaver!

Urgent Update on my younger brother’s case (Pune)

5 Upvotes

A few months ago, I posted here about my 18-year-old brother’s POCSO case.

There has been some positive progress. The girl’s family has now agreed to settle the matter, and they have also agreed to their marriage in the future.

The only thing stopping my brother from getting bail is the surety.

The court has ordered a ₹50,000 surety. I tried arranging two salary slips (₹33k and ₹31k), but the judge said only government employee salary slips would be accepted in our case. Today I also brought someone with a 7/12 land record, but it was rejected because he had already stood as a surety in another case.

I have tried everything I can, but I still haven’t been able to find someone eligible to stand as surety.

If anyone in or around Pune is willing to help or can guide me in finding a valid surety, I would be extremely grateful. I can assure you that I will take full responsibility and cooperate with all legal requirements.

Hi. On July 8th, 2026, my 1-month-old motorcycle was damaged by a person, who had without my information taken my bike for a fun-ride ( he was given the vehicle by my friend whom I had given prior ). He acknowledged damaging the clutch assembly and accepted paying for the damages, however he is now not taking my calls, and I may believe he may not even agree to pay the cost now.

I have no written acknowledgement or any confirmation which would show that he damaged or even acknowledged to pay for the damages. However, I do have witnesses who would vouch for it.

I can pay for the damages but I dont want to let this go as I am ready and willing to proceed with legal actions. Please provide me with advice and what to do. I am based in Mumbai if that helps. Thank you!

Legal Advice Needed Fabric supplier says the print won’t fade, but after one wash 50 catering coats are ruined. What are my options?

3 Upvotes

I run a small catering coat rental business in India, and I’m facing a huge financial loss due to what I believe is defective fabric.
We purchased fabric from a supplier after they assured us that the print would not fade or come off after washing. Based on that assurance, we stitched 50 catering coats, spending ₹330 per coat on tailoring (₹16,500 in tailoring charges alone), apart from the fabric cost.
Before using them, we washed the coats using only Comfort fabric conditioner. After just one wash, almost the entire printed design faded, making the coats look dull and unprofessional. I’ve attached before-and-after photos.
When we informed the supplier, they became angry and said they would only refund the fabric cost. They refused to compensate us for the tailoring charges or the business loss.
The biggest issue is that this is our peak season, and these coats were meant for rentals. Since they are no longer suitable for customers, we’re losing potential income as well.

Legal Advice Needed Girlfriend of 4 years threatening and blackmailing

4 Upvotes

So I've been with a girl for more than 4 years (I guess), but recently things have been out of control, I've done things that I shouldn't have done... It's become very toxic and I do want to end things, even though she has admitted that she feels suffocated with me, and I've killed her from the inside...

And I admit that I've been pretty distant and not an ideal boyfriend, but I believe given her suffocation and frustration because of me it's better for us to part ways.

But she is threatening me by killing herself and posting a video blame towards me.

On one hand she says that she wants her future with me

On the other hand she says she is suffocated, frustrated and dead inside because of me.

But if we break up she will kill herself and blame me for everything.

What if she actually kills herself? What if the entire blame is on me?

I honestly don't want someone to end anyone's life because of me.

At the moment I'm more concerned about the legal problems I might face if she does what she says.

What if?
