Sex on genuine promise of marriage not rape if promise broken due to parental disagreement: Bombay High Court

The complainant woman and the accused were said to have entered into physical relations when they were in a relationship in 2019. Subsequently, the complainant came to know that the man was engaged to another woman and would be marrying her.

The complainant then lodged a complaint with the police station in Nagpur. When the accused was summoned, he informed the police that he was ready to marry the complainant, but that his parents did not agree to the marriage.

The complainant woman also went to meet the man’s father who maintained that he was not in favour of having his son married to the complainant.

Following this, the Nagpur police registered an FIR against the accused under Section 376(2)(n) (dealing with the offence of rape) of the IPC.
