The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ordered an inquiry into a woman who allegedly filed a false rape case, highlighting the misuse of legal provisions and urging action against the complainant.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has directed an investigation into a false rape complaint, calling it a misuse of legal provisions. The court ordered the Sehore district S.P. to conduct a proper inquiry after the complainant admitted that the rape allegations were false.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has clarified that a woman cannot allege rape merely because a long-term consensual relationship did not result in marriage. The court emphasized the importance of distinguishing between a breach of promise and a false promise made with the intent to deceive.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that a husband cannot be held liable for rape under Indian law and that non-consensual ‘unnatural’ sex within marriage does not fall under Section 377 of the IPC. Justice Sanjay Dwivedi dismissed the charges against Umang Singhar, stating that marital relations go beyond mere procreation.
