Rising trend of cases of rape on false promise of marriage


02-Apr-2025 (In Criminal Law)
I had a physical relationship with a lady in body massage center in November 2024. They were running brothel disguised as massage center. She took my number too and was calling & texting me for repeated visits. I blocked her in January. I visited this center only twice in November. Its been 5 months since I visited that place. Can this lady file rape on false promise of marriage case

Under Indian law, a charge of rape on the false promise of marriage applies only if there was a clear and intentional misrepresentation of a marriage commitment to obtain consent for a physical relationship. Based on the details you provided, where the interaction occurred in a commercial setting (a massage center allegedly operating as a brothel), it would be difficult to establish that any such promise existed.
