Duo claims assault by daughter, her husband
The Delhi High Court has ordered the city police to ensure sufficient protection for a senior citizen couple who claimed that they were being “tormented and physically beaten” by their daughter and son-in-law living with them.
Justice Vibhu Bakhru said the couple can also approach their area District Magistrate under Rule 22 of Delhi Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Rules (DMWPSCR) for their protection.
Rule 22 of DMWPSCR lays down guidelines for protection of life and property of senior citizens. It says that complaints of senior citizens shall be promptly attended to by the local police.

NEW DELHI: Sex on promise of marriage doesn’t constitute rape if the woman continues to have consensual physical intimacy over a long period of time, Delhi High Court has observed.
Quashing a rape case filed by a woman who off and on had a physical relationship with a man for months, the court noted, “A promise of marriage cannot be held as an inducement for engaging in sex over a protracted and indefinite period of time.”
Justice Vibhu Bakhru noted that sexual relationships could be said to be induced on false promise of marriage if the victim fell prey to it momentarily. “In certain cases, a promise of marriage may induce a party to agree to establish sexual relations, even though the party does not desire to consent to the same. Such inducement in a given moment may elicit consent, even though the concerned party may want to say no,” the court explained.
