I Moved to Another Country

This is the first craziest encounter I had when I first moved to India. I was dating a guy over there and we were just spending time by the seaside when a couple of policemen stopped us and started questioning us, like where are we from, are we married, does our family know about us hanging out. I was really annoyed and asked them what was the problem. They bluntly told me I can't be outside with a man because I was unmarried and it's not part of "Indian culture". I tried to reason with them but they started talking about calling my family and putting us in jail under "moral reasons". But my then bf gave them money as a bribe to get out of the situation. Later, he told me they were just scaring us to get money out of us. Strange country.
