My boyfriend Refuse to marry me after physical relationship
06-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
In India, engaging in a physical relationship based on a false promise of marriage can amount to a criminal offense. While consensual sex is not illegal, if the promise to marry was made solely to obtain consent for sexual intercourse without any genuine intention to fulfill it, it may be prosecuted as rape under Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), as Section 90 deems consent given under a misconception of fact invalid. Depending on the circumstances, such conduct could also lead to charges of cheating under Section 420 IPC or rape by deceit under Section 376 read with Section 417 IPC. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a family law lawyer to assess the evidence and explore legal options.
