Woman can't allege rape after 6 years of consensual sex: Karnataka HC

卡纳塔克邦高等法院：自愿性行为持续6年，女方不能指控男方强奸

BENGALURU: Citing it as a classic illustration of abuse of the process of law, the Karnataka HC quashed two criminal cases filed against a Bengalurean by a woman, alleging breach of promise of marriage after being in a relationship for six years.

班加罗尔：卡纳塔克邦高等法院称这是滥用法律程序的经典例证，撤销了一名女子对一名班加罗尔男子提起的两起刑事案件，该女子指控男方在恋爱6年后违背结婚承诺。

"It is not one, two, three, four or five, but six years of consensual physical/sexual relationship between the petitioner and the complainant after having met through a social media platform. The complaint narrates all details... The allegation that is made later is, from Dec 27, 2019, the intimacy between the two waned.... Fading away of the intimacy after 6 years of consensual acts of sexual intercourse cannot mean that it would constitute ingredients of rape," it said.

“原告与被告通过社交媒体平台相识后，双方自愿发生关系长达6年了，不是1年、2年、3年、4年或5年。控书叙述了所有细节。从2019年12月27日起，两人之间的亲密关系淡了。双方自愿的性行为持续6年后，亲密关系的疏远并不构成强奸的成分。”

Petitioner, woman became friends on FB

在Facebook上成为朋友

They were consensual acts from Day 1 and remained so till December 27, 2019," Justice M Nagaprasanna observed, quashing the proceedings in relation to FIRs registered against the petitioner in 2021 by Indiranagar police in Bengaluru city and women's police station in Davanagere.

法官M Nagaprasanna说，“从第一天起这些行为就是双方自愿的，一直持续到2019年12月27日。”他撤销了2021年班加罗尔市Indiranagar警方和Davanagere女子警察局所登记的案子。

Pointing out that the sexual relationship lasted six long years, the judge said it cannot but be construed that it would not be rape for it to become punishable under section 376 of IPC. "If further proceedings are permitted to continue, it would run foul of (a) plethora of judgments rendered by the Supreme Court on the issue," the judge said, citing the Supreme Court judgment in Pramod Suryabhan Pawar vs State of Maharashtra case and a few other cases.

法官指出，这段性关系持续了六年之久，他说，根据印度刑法第376条，这不是强奸。“如果允许进一步的诉讼继续进行，将与最高法院在该问题上做出的判决相冲突，”法官说，引用了最高法院在马哈拉施特拉邦Pramod Suryabhan Pawar案和其他一些案件中的判决。

The petitioner had befriended the complainant through Facebook in 2013. According to her, since he was residing close by, she was always taken to his house on the pretext that he was a very good chef. He would prepare delicious food and every time she used to go to his house, drink beer and have sexual intercourse. After having physical relationship with her on the promise of marriage for about six years, the petitioner broke the said promise.

原告于2013年通过Facebook与被告成为好友。据她说，因为他住在附近，她总是被带到他家，借口是他厨艺好，他会准备美味的食物，每次她都去他家，喝啤酒，然后发生关系。在与她保持六年的关系并承诺结婚之后，被告人违背了承诺。

Judiciary needs to come to an common agreement as to what exactly a rape is. Women in their prime are matured enough to read people and understand the depth of any relationship. Breakups happens even between the most passionate of all lovers and physical intimacy, when in relation, cannot be termed as rape. Counter suits should be filed against her.

司法部门需要就强奸的判定条件达成一致。成熟女性能识人，理解任何关系的深度。即使是热恋的恋人之间也会分手，恋人之间发生身体上的亲密关系不能被称为强奸。应该对她提起反诉。

Why the criminal name of this woman is hidden?? She is the criminal and the man is the victim. Media hiding her name

even if it was 6 days it can't be rape because it is consensual. both are adults. both know what they are doing. yes you can still file a case of cheating but not rape!!!

即使只持续6天，也不能算强奸，因为这是双方自愿的。两人都是成年人。他们都知道自己在做什么。是的，你仍然可以起诉被骗，但这不是强奸!!

It would be interesting to find how many are falsely accused under such acts in India. So many men have lost everything under false accusations and immediate arrests under such laws. The society and media will always consider an accused as criminal in India. Even police Want to save their face and be one the side of the accuser to escape media and other troubles. What remedy is there for men who are victims of false accusation under sexual offenses laws?

看看印度有多少人因这种行为而被诬告，在这样的法律下，很多男人在被诬告和立即逮捕后失去了一切。在印度，社会和媒体总是把被告视为罪犯。甚至警察也想保全自己的面子，站在原告一边，逃避媒体和其他麻烦。对于被诬告的男性受害者，有什么补救措施?

most of the cases of rape, domestic violence, dowry etc are fake. The law is being misused by women against men. Men remains always at receiving end, suffering trauma of facing judicial process finally ending on financial settlement with the woman for which the whole propaganda has been created.

大多数强奸、家庭暴力、嫁妆等案件都是假的。女人滥用法律来对付男人。男人总是处于承受方，承受着面对司法程序的创伤，最终以对女人进行经济补偿而告终。

whenever you have sex with any woman without marriage, pay her at least 1 rupee and take receipt so that consensual sex is not charged as rape in future
