India enacts a law punishing men up to 10 years for deceiving women into sex with a promise of marriage.

India introduces a new law criminalizing deceitful men who promise marriage after having sex with a woman, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Critics argue that the law might criminalize breakups and be challenging to enforce, while others believe it addresses under-reported cases of "promise to marry" rape. The law aims to clarify conflicting rulings on broken promises versus false promises of marriage in India's courts.
