I want to file case against my boyfriend
2 weeks ago
I had 1 years long physical relationship with my boyfriend. He promised to marry me but now he's not fulfilling his promise. I had 2 abortions within 1 year because of him. I have tried to commit suicide by cutting my wrist but my parents saved me. What kind of cases I can file against him except rape case 371. I know I can file rape case because he promised to marry me before having sex with me. Will 420 law also work against him? I just want to know how many cases I can file against him.
A.Dear Madam,
You should not make further delay in lodging the complaint with Police since your boyfriends seems to be playing with your emotions and sentiments and he has committed offence of cheating etc.

A.Dear Client,
Section 90 and Section 375 of the Indian Penal Code is what the person is charged with when he has a sexual relationship with a woman on false promise of marriage. Section 375 of IPC defines Rape and Section 90 IPC talks about Consent when obtained using fear or misinformation. Section 114A of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 talks about the Presumption as to the absence of consent in certain prosecutions for rape. This section states that if the woman testifies in a court of law that she had given consent under a false pretext of marriage then it will be considered as consent given under a false promise of marriage. Consent given by a victim based on a false assumption would be a violation of the section
375 IPC and Section 90 IPC, respectively. Supreme Court has declared that if a person's objective is to do evil and he has ulterior motivations, he will be guilty under section 376 and if motive is not taken into consideration then more people with evil intent will exploit girls from the lowest and poorest section of society by luring them with false promises of marriage and forcing them to have physical relations while convincing them that they will marry in the future, thinking that law is on their side as they have obtained the consent. The Supreme Court in the case of State of Uttar Pradesh v. Naushad, 2013 held that the defendant also obtained her consent under Section 90 of the IPC under the erroneous belief that he could marry her. In view of the averments of the Courts and the given proposition of the relevant law, you need to consult with an Advocate experienced in criminal cases before lodging an FIR or filing a criminal suit against the concerned person to navigate the matter in the right way.
