<br/><br/> Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 focuses on the criminalisation of sexual intercourse by a false promise to marry, which may be through deceitful means with no genuine intention to be fulfilled. This provision has been discussed to have a contrary effect to its actual purpose by reinforcing patriarchal norms and curtailing women’s autonomy, threatening and restricting live-in relationships based on inter-caste and inter-religious lines, and lastly, creating ambiguity in defining the law and urging progressive judicial interpretation. – Reproduced <br/><br/>https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/18/commentary/bharatiya-nyaya-sanhita-and-false-promise-marry.html<br/>
