Live-ins presume consent if sustained over time: Supreme Court
The Supreme Court has observed that a long-term live-in relationship between consenting adults implies a voluntary choice, making claims of rape based on a false promise of marriage less credible. The court emphasized the increasing financial independence of women and the prevalence of live-in relationships, urging a less rigid approach in such cases.
