Once Marriage Is Registered, Husband Can't Be Booked For Rape On Ground That He Did Not Fulfill Promise To Marry As Per Customs: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court held that a false promise to marry as per customs does not vitiate consent in a relationship. The court's ruling distinguishes between a false promise of marriage and consent given in a relationship based on customs or personal choices. This decision clarifies the legal interpretation of consent in such relationships and has implications for cases involving allegations of rape or cheating based on broken promises of marriage.
