Kerala High Court: Women Can Make False Sexual Assault Claims
The Kerala High Court has said that it is possible for a woman to make false allegations of rape or sexual misconduct. The court made this statement while canceling a rape case filed against a man by a woman.
Justice A. Badharudeen, who gave the ruling, noted that earlier, it was widely believed that no girl or woman would lie about being sexually assaulted because of the serious consequences such a claim could bring. In Indian society, such allegations have a strong impact. If proven false, the woman may face social rejection and damage to her reputation, and it could even affect her chances of getting married.
However, the court said that this belief has been weakened in recent years. There are now many cases where women accuse men of rape or other misconduct without any truth, just to take revenge or to pressure them into agreeing to unfair demands.
The judge pointed out that while it is important to take complaints seriously, it is also necessary to check the truth behind every case. Not every claim should be accepted without proper investigation.
In this case, the court decided that the rape allegation made by the woman was not supported by any solid evidence, and therefore, the case against the man was dropped.
This judgment highlights the need to carefully examine sexual assault complaints on a case-by-case basis to ensure justice for both the complainant and the accused.
