it is called consented rape which is not an offence in the eye of law. the lady may be given a statement to the police that you were given false promises to her to have sexual relationship with her. as per the verdicts of the supreme court to have sex with the assurance of promise to marry is not an offence.

the age of the victim was not mentioned in your query and at the time of physical relation whether you are given a promise to marry her or not is also not mentioned.
