Yes, this could be a serious issue under Indian law. While merely chatting online with a married woman is not illegal, the husband’s complaint could lead to charges of criminal intimidation or adultery if he alleges you are harassing his wife or have a physical relationship with her. You should seek legal advice immediately from a lawyer in India to understand the potential consequences and how to proceed.
