Some of the laws in India are so obsolete they ought to find place in some legal museum rather than in citizens’ everyday life.
Take for example a man promising marriage to the woman as an incentive for sex. In this case to an intelligent woman. The woman involved must be really nuts to believe a man will get married to her merely she had sex with him. Of course some sex deprived men are known to have married women solely because the carrot of sexual favours was dangled. But this is not the usual case. Be that as it may: the woman can hope to get marriage in return for sex, or the man can offer a pretext of marriage in private to her, but by no means can the law take cognizance of such a promise and turn it into a criminal act by slapping charges like “criminally disrobing a woman” as in this case. Indian women must learn to close their thighs until they are actually married or have as much consensual sex as they want to, without tying it up to expectations of marriage. It’s common sense that marriages predicated on sex, have a slim chance of lasting. And that is is nobody’s interest.
