He alleged that the woman had accompanied him to the hotel of her own free will.<\/p>\n<p>The court, however, convicted him saying though it was borne out from the woman&#8217;s testimony that she willingly accompanied Mourya to the hotel, it was apparent that she did not give her consent for establishing physical relations with him in the hotel that day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The mere fact that the woman and accused were interested in marrying each other and that she accompanied him to the hotel ostensibly for a birthday party cannot, by any stretch of imagination, be taken as a substitute for her consent for entering into sexual relations with him,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on the woman&#8217;s statement, the court said her testimony was &#8220;natural, inspired confidence and merits acceptance&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She has categorically claimed that she objected when accused established physical relations with her and started crying. But, she remained quite believing his assurance that he would marry her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The consent of the woman for sexual relations, in these circumstances, was certainly absent when Mourya established physical relations with her,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0When a girl does not give her consent for physical intimacy, it must be &#8220;necessarily&#8221; treated as her &#8220;no&#8221;, a Delhi court has said while awarding 10 years rigorous imprisonment to a man for repeatedly raping a woman on the pretext of marriage.The court also said that a woman&#8217;s consent for physical relations cannot be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":37529,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[32368,31987,32366,32367,32365],"class_list":["post-37528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-consent-of-the-woman-for-sexual-relations","tag-featured","tag-girls-reluctance-to-physical-intimacy","tag-girls-reluctance-to-physical-intimacy-must-be-taken-as-no","tag-physical-intimacy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Girl&#039;s reluctance to physical intimacy must be taken as no: Delhi Court - Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp;
