A.Dear Madam,
You may ask your friend to lodge police complaint immediately and see that he is arrested. The matter may be settled and he may agree to marry your friend.

A.Dear Client, it's important to remember that consent in any sexual activity is crucial. If your bestie engaged in sexual intercourse with her boyfriend willingly and without any coercion, it's generally considered consensual. The Supreme Court in one of the cases held that in every case where a man fails to marry a woman despite a promise made to her, cannot be held guilty for committing the offence of rape. He can only be held guilty if it is proved that the promise to marry was given with no intention to honour it and also that was the only reason due to which the woman agreed to have a sexual relationship. The specific circumstances of the situation need to be taken into account before proceeding further.
