Not rape if relationship is consensual and for a prolonged period, says HC
The Madras High Court quashed the rape conviction of a 26-year-old man by highlighting a consensual relationship with the woman. Justice Sunder Mohan noted the relationship became sour over time, and the woman's consent was not solely based on a marriage promise. The case's delayed complaint reduced its significance, leading to the acquittal.
