Marriage More Than A Ritual, Holds Unique Cultural Significance: Rajasthan HC While Quashing Rape FIR After Accused And Victim Marry

Rajasthan High Court quashed a rape FIR following the victim's marriage with the accused. The court likely considered the changed circumstances and the victim's decision to marry the accused as grounds for terminating the criminal proceedings.

However, these cases are complex and depend heavily on the specific facts and legal interpretations.
