Reading: My friend and I were close, she often spoke about wanting to leave her husband, saying he was abusive. We developed feelings for each other, and now her husband has proof of our relationship. He wants me to sign an affidavit admitting to the affair, promising not to sue me for adultery in return. But my friend has now changed her mind about divorcing him, and I fear he’s setting me up. She’s very manipulative, and claims her husband is also having an affair. I’m worried about this situation and need advice on how to protect myself.

Signing the affidavit could potentially be detrimental as it acknowledges an extramarital affair, which is illegal in India. Seek legal advice from a lawyer specializing in family law to understand your legal rights and options, as the situation is complex and you should not act without professional guidance.
