flag India's Supreme Court dismissed a rape case, ruling consensual sex post-breakup doesn't equal rape, especially when both parties knew the law.

flag The Supreme Court of India quashed a rape FIR, ruling the case stemmed from a consensual relationship that deteriorated, not from a genuine rape allegation. flag The court emphasized that consensual sex between adults, even after a broken marriage promise, does not constitute rape, especially when both parties, including the complainant—a married lawyer aware of bigamy laws—understood the legal risks. flag The bench, comprising Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan, found no evidence of criminal conduct under Section 376(2)(n) of the IPC, criticized using criminal law for personal disputes, and overturned the Chhattisgarh High Court’s decision to uphold the FIR, dismissing all proceedings.
