PoliticsPhoto: Prabhat KhabarSupreme Court Rules No Rape by False Marriage Promise
The Supreme Court ruled that consensual relationships between adults do not automatically become rape if they break down or cause emotional differences. However, rape charges can be filed if consent was obtained by deceit, such as a false promise of marriage. The court emphasized that criminal law should not be misused for personal revenge or coercion and cannot pass moral judgments on adults' private choices.
