Obtaining the consent of a woman to have sex on the promise to get married is an offence of rape under Indian law. However, instead of pursuing such a harsh course of action you may approach the courts as recently the supreme court has ruled that persons in live in relationships would be presumed to be married. You may therefore claim maintenance and the other remedies available to a spouse. Feel free to get in touch if we could be of any further assistance to you.
