India, Orissa High Court: Sex on false promise of marriage not rape

Indian courts are so conflicted over this issue, they make different judgements as per the mood of presiding judge.

In his 12-page order, Justice Panigrahi discussed the rape laws in detail and observed that "a consensual relationship without even any assurance obviously will not attract the offence under Section 376 of the IPC (rape)".

So conflicted as:

He, however, also observed that the rape laws often fail to address the plight of socially-disadvantaged and poor victims, who get lured into sex by men on false promise of marriage.

He have to take side of 'poor women' somehow, because poor or innocent men never exist nor women with reckless intentions.

I'm surprised that a judge has given such a judgement. Anyway, we need gender-neutral rape laws in India. The sooner the better.
