The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that a married woman cannot claim her consent for sex with another man was taken under the false promise of marriage, while quashing a rape complaint. The court stated that a married woman's consent for physical relationships cannot be considered under the framework of consent obtained due to a misconception of fact, as per the Indian Penal Code Section 90.
