BNS Section 69 | Breach of Marriage Promise Without Fraudulent Intent at Inception Does Not Constitute Sexual Exploitation : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that a consensual physical relationship ending in a broken marriage promise does not automatically amount to sexual exploitation under BNS Section 69 unless there is evidence the accused never intended to marry from the outset. This sets a critical boundary between emotional betrayal and criminal fraud, protecting individuals from misuse of sexual offense statutes in private relationship disputes.
