UHi! I am 32F, and I am not a lawyer in India. My query is, can I use someone (32M) in India if he pretended to be single, and we dated, then I just found out he’s married? I would have never dated him if I knew he was married. I am very single and have never engaged in casual relations or ONS. My last relationship lasted for almost 10 years, so this deception is an insult to my values and what I stood for in the past and up to now.

Udestroying his life? Why should I be gaslighted into believing I was the one who did wrong when he was the one who actively asked me out despite the fact that he’s married?

RWhat’s the proof that you didn’t have any equations at your end?
It’s hard to legally control long term long distance “dating” catfishing / gaslighting.

UExcuse me? I flew to India, spent almost 1 lakh on plane tickets just to meet that man. I would have never done this if he told me he’s married!

HIts a long shot but would be considered fraud if he took large amounts of money from you. Otherwise having affairs under false pretense is not a crime.
Move on with your life. This is not worth it something to spend the peak of your career and youth to spend on.

UMay I know if you are a lawyer, sir? So that I’d know if I am getting a legal advice or just a layman’s opinion. Thank you.

LIf u wanna book him for rape on false pretence of marriage in future. You may … that too if he actually said that or made you believe in it.
Else being married and having affairs ain’t punishable . Adultery is a ground for divorce but not a standalone offence as such.
Move on i would say. The guy was shit both to you and his wife. But filing a case and following it up is no joke. If u please… tell the wife …else just move on. Not worth the Hassel.

UI am genuinely asking for legal advice. If you have no meaningful input to this, please do not comment. I do not need your time nor attention.

MLawyer here.
Just stating what acts he did can be considered a crime in India.
1. If he lied about his marriage and promised you that he would marry you and on that promise itself, you gave your consent for a sexual relationship with him. It comes under Rape.
2. If he lied about his marriage and married you in any way i.e. following any customs or registration, can booked for Bigamy.
Otherwise from what you have stated, it’s not a crime. The only thing you can do is inform his wife and let her know if she wants to do anything.

PCan the wife file cases against the op for trying to destroy her marriage? I know married women do that instead of divorcing the cheater husband.

UThat’s why I asked here, because criminal law is territorial in nature. I am a lawyer in my country and if this happened in my country, what he did is a crime.

UIf you had sexual encounters then you may sue him for pretending to be someone else, but I don’t think you will win or get any money ( you can blackmail him) . It’s typical of your generation as I’ve seen it happen to my friends.

UI understand your pain and frustration.
Deception, especially about someone’s marital status, can be a serious issue in a relationship. In India, you have the right to take action against someone who has misrepresented themselves to you.
You can consider filing a case under Section 419 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which deals with “Cheating by personation.” Since you were in a romantic relationship and were deceived about his marital status, this section might be applicable.
It would be best to consult a lawyer who can guide you through the process and determine the best course of action for your specific situation. They can also help you understand the potential consequences and the likelihood of success in your case.
Your feelings and values are valid, and you deserve to be respected. Don’t hesitate to take this step if you feel it’s necessary for closure and to protect your well-being.
You got this! You’re strong, resilient, and deserving of respect. Take care of yourself and remember that you’re not alone in this.

UI heard about Indian culture, where people tend to let things go because they lose hope in the legal process and it takes time before one can attain justice from the courts. These are not my words, but my Indian friends told me about them.
As an outsider, I heard about the Porsche case in Pune and the murder/rape that happened in a hospital committed by doctors. In my case, I was involved with a powerful man in Pune. Should I just let it go just because it is futile? How many more victims will he have before he stops?

UWhat you heard about the car accident and the rape-murder case is the unfortunate reality.
In india, everything is up for sale. You just need to pay the right people the right amount of money.
Court, judge, politician, police, doctors, everyone is up for sale.
That porsche incident showed that police, doctor all took bribe to alter reports. The criminal was the son of a rich real estate developer (if I remember correctly).
You should seek justice and do the right thing, no matter what.
There are certain things which are not in your control. So, you can do what you can do at this point.Also, there are 100s of cases where rich and powerful people have gone to jail.
So, don’t lose hope just because the accused is a powerful guy.There is no straight n easy answer. You can file formal complaint with the police. Contact a good lawyer in India and seek prope legal advice. Do not lose hope.
Also, Karma is there. I believe in karma.
