Rajesh Ghose | | Dear Anubha,
Sorry, I am not regular surfer. However here is my opinion on the case you had mentioned:
1. It is not easy to give a legal opinion on the few facts you have stated.
2. One can not blindly hold a guy blameworthy simply because he had sex with the lady.As you had stated, your friend had physical relationship with the guy, considering your friend to be an adult the case seems more like physical relation between consenting adults than forceful.
3. To prove rape you need to provide better evidence.The earlier the evidence is presented the better e.g. medical confirmation,police complaint e.t.c.
4. You have to describe the 'engagement' more elaborately for me to understand whether a case can be made against the other party, for example _ whether there were any written commitments,photographs,rituals e.t.c.
I can understand your anguish and feeling for your friend. From your emotional viewpoint you are mad for revenge but from practical viewpoint there are many questions which have to be answered if the case is taken to court. The boys side, if challenged, would not sit idle and would hire the services of a lawyer like your friend and your friend will have to answer some tough questions before the guy can be nailed. Is your friend ready for all that gruel?If Yes, Go ahead.But please understand:
1.Consentual sex betwen adults is not an offence.
2.Breaking up or rejecting a marriage negotiation midway is not an offence.
What I would suggest is to withdraw your claws for a while and think on the following issues:
1.Your friend was saved from a cheat before marriage. What if she would have married this guy to be repudiated later?
2.What, if your friends life became a hell after having a child and having cruel inlaws?
There are few things in life which are better if buried deep.Life means moving ahead after learning from mistakes not to spoil it by repenting.
Good luck. advice your friend accordingly and if I can be of any help do revert back. Bye.
Rajesh
