Madhya Pradesh HC on unmarried girls: The Madhya Pradesh high court on Saturday was hearing a case where a man is alleged for raping a minor on the pretext of marriage since October 2018 and subsequently refusing to marry her. In its order passed on August 14, the high court (Indore Bench) observed, "India are a conservative society, it has not yet reached such level (advance or lower) of civilization where unmarried girls…indulge in carnal activities with boys just for the fun of it, unless the same is backed by some future promise/assurance of marriage."
As per a report by Live Law, the Bench of Justice Subodh Abhyankar of the state’s High Court also suggested that a man who is entering into a physical relationship with a young woman must realise that his actions have consequences. He went on to add that the accused should be ready to face the same.
