To get a woman agreed for sex by befooling her that he would marry her is not a true consent in terms of Sec. 375 IPC. The pre marital sex with a girl convincing her that he would marry her, and then diserting her saying that he does not or can not marry her due to some differences in caste etc. is clear case of sexual exploitation. It amounts to rape. It is rightly held so. Mahendra Vadia - Advocate. +91 98253 07466 The judgment must be upheld.

Sex is not some object that a girl has which she will give if the man promises something. Its an act of love, passion, pleasure between two consenting people. It is so wrong to assume that sex is something that a girl gives. It is not something to give and take, it is something that two people do together, with pleasure. you thats the problem with understanding of sexuality.

Not pre-marital sex is rape. <i>The court held that if it was not held as rape, it would “result in unscrupulous and mischievous persons taking undue advantage of innocent girls by promising marriage with them”.</i> I think what the judge is saying that having sex, promising marriage and then not fulfilling it amounts to rape.
