The Uttarakhand High Court has quashed a rape case filed against a man, ruling that the termination of a consensual relationship does not constitute a criminal offense. The court determined that the relationship between the two individuals began through a dating application and involved a physical connection that lasted for several months.
In its decision, the court emphasized that the subsequent breakdown of a consensual relationship does not equate to rape. By dismissing the charges, the judiciary clarified that legal proceedings for rape cannot be initiated solely based on the failure of a relationship to culminate in marriage.
