Men are being treated as animals, rapists and cheats. Men are being treated as animals, rapists and cheats.
They have to prove themselves to be innocent

However should a man cheat on his lover he is hauled up for rape and that too at the apex court in India
How sad ??

SC expanded definition but created scope for abuse

New Delhi: The dramatic arrest of a bride-groom in Delhi this week on a rape charge made by his previous lover highlights a legal gray area that has emerged in the last four years, thanks to a string of controversial judgments delivered by the Supreme Court.
The law itself ? that is, Section 375 IPC, defining rape ? does not deal with consent for sex obtained on a "false promise" or consent given "under misconception of fact". But there have been at least three SC verdicts holding that if a woman has sex with a man on the basis of his false promise to marry, he is liable to be convicted for rape.
The first time SC widened the definition of rape was in 2003 in Uday vs State of Karnataka, where it expanded the definition to include a situation in which the woman consents to having sex under a misconception of fact that the man intends to marry her at some stage. This opened up the possibility for the police to register a rape case under Section 376 IPC even when the woman admits to engaging in consensual sex.
The apex court reiterated this approach in another rape case in 2004, Dileep Singh vs State of Bihar, where it examined evidence in detail to ascertain whether the accused had ``with the fraudulent intention of inducing the woman to sexual intercourse, made a false promise to marry". The SC again acquitted the accused as it found that the evidence did not warrant "an inference beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had no intention to marry her at all from the inception...''
The principles enunciated by these two verdicts paved the way last year for the first ever rape conviction by SC on the ground of false promise to marry. In Yedla Srinivasa Rao vs State of Andhra Pradesh, a bench comprising Justices A K Mathur and Altamas Kabir convicted the accused for rape on the basis of evidence showing that he persuaded the woman to have sexual intercourse with the promise to marry and when she become pregnant, he fled the village.
