Being in live-in relationship sufficient to show that sexual relationship was consensual: Mumbai court grants bail to rape accused


A live-in relationship by itself is sufficient to show that sexual relationship was consensual, said a Mumbai Court on Wednesday granting bail to a 30-year-old man booked for rape of his live-in partner.

Additional Sessions Judge SU Baghele added that irrespective of the no objection given by the informant, the factual matrix unveiled in the FIR revealed that the relationship was consensual based on the fact that the applicant and informant were living together without getting married.

"The said live­-in ­relationship, by itself is sufficient to show that the sexual relationship was consensual, due to which, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail, dehors the no objection given by the informant, notwithstanding whether it is voluntarily or otherwise,"
