Cheating

Dear Client,
An aggrieved woman can file multiple cases against a person who cheated her with false promises of marriage if she can prove those allegations before the Court. 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 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. So, given the proposition of relevant laws and the averments of the Apex Court. you can hire an experienced Advocate to navigate the issues in the right way.
