False Rape Case: Nowadays, it has become very common for a boy and a girl to live together without marriage i.e. live-in relationship. People consider it a decision of their personal freedom and wisdom. But many times this relationship breaks down. When a breakup happens. Many times disputes arise. So after the breakup, the girl made serious allegations like rape against the boy.
Whereas earlier both were living in live-in of their own free will. In such a situation, the biggest question is that if the allegations are false then how will the boy save himself. Does the law understand live-in and can a consensual relationship not be considered rape later? Let us tell you how you can save yourself from a false rape case.
Proof that there was consent is required
If you are living in a live-in relationship, then first of all it is important to understand that live-in relationship is considered a consensual relationship between two adults in India. If both live together of their own free will. Share expenses. Know each other’s family or travel somewhere. So all these things become a strong basis for consent. In such a situation, if the boy wants to save himself from a false rape case.
So he should preserve with himself those evidences which show that the relationship was going on with the consent of both of them. Like chats, photos, social media posts, call records, entries related to hotel or flat, rent agreement, WhatsApp messages where the girl herself has agreed to live together. All these things are not a story before the court. Rather, they stand as facts.
present your case this way
If you are falsely accused, instead of panicking, first consult a good lawyer and apply for anticipatory bail. This will reduce the risk of arrest. After this, give a written statement from your side that the relationship was consensual. Try to give information to the police as calmly and accurately as possible.
The case will stand that much stronger. Love chats sent earlier by the girl, talks about living together, information given to the family members, all this can help you. The court has also said in many decisions that if the relationship has been consensual for a long time, then it cannot be considered rape just because of a breakup later.
