The Delhi High Court ruled that a consensual relationship cannot be rebranded as non-consensual solely because marriage did not occur. The Court held that a breach of promise is not the same as a false promise made to induce consent.
A court in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh last week convicted a woman for falsely accusing a man of rape charges in 2018. Additional District Judge Gyanendra Tripathi sentenced the woman to 4 years, 6 months and 8 days (1,653 days) of imprisonment. This is the same period the man had spent in jail due to such false accusation.
