New Delhi: A man and his family members have been acquitted by a Delhi court of the charges of raping, molesting and threatening his wife, saying she lodged a false complaint to get rid of her "impotent" husband.

"... Her marriage was not consummated on account of impotency of her husband, which was the sole reason for her strained relations with her husband and in-laws," Additional Sessions Judge Virender Bhat said, after the woman confessed to have filed the false case.
