Consensual sex in a live-in relationship can't be called as rape - Supreme Court

A court bench comprising of Chief justice S A Bobde and Justices A S Bopanna and V Ramasubramanian said, "Making a false promise to marry is wrong. Even a woman should not promise to marry and then break away. But that does not mean in a prolonged live-in relationship, sexual intercourse would be categorised as rape." The Supreme Court said that any consensual sex that happens between a live-in  couple cannot be categorized rape if the man fails to keep his promise of marrying the woman later.
