The Allahabad High Court granted bail to the accused in an alleged case of sex on the false promise of marriage, saying that the complainant, a widow aged about 35 years, should have been aware of the repercussions of pre-marital sex with an unknown person.

While allowing the bail plea of rape accused Durgesh Tripathi, Justice Rahul Chaturvedi said, "It is clear without any doubt that the victim must understand the far-reaching repercussions of pre-marital sex with an unknown person. The victim also declined medical examination to ascertain the factum of rape upon her."
