more-inThe Delhi High Court has refused to quash rape charge against a man who is now married to the alleged victim, observing that it is an “offence against society”. He also contented that the case registered in November 2016 was a result of a misunderstanding. Their parents opposed the relationship, after which the man married someone else in July 2012. He divorced his wife in 2015 and established a physical relationship with the woman, promising to marry her. After he backed out again, the woman filed a rape case against him.
