There can be no straitjacket answer. The court's view will depend on the facts of the case. usually courts these days are taking the liberal view that if partners are dating then it will not constitute rape.

Query perused. I would advise you to lodge a complaint for registering an FIR under section 376 IPC for rape. It's a clear cut case of cheating and deception and falls within the definition of rape. For further consultancy and legal services you may contact us.
