Women use law as weapon for vengeance
Tuesday, January 17, 2017 IST
A man, accused of raping a woman on the pretext of finding her a job, has been let off by a court here which held it as a false case and observed that in many cases women use the law as a weapon for vengeance and personal vendetta.
An emerging trend?
“Many of the cases are being reported by those women who have the consensual physical relationship but when the relationship breaks due to one or the other reason, the woman uses the law as a weapon for vengeance,” Additional Sessions Judge Sanjiv Jain said.
The court’s verdict came on a woman’s complaint alleging that she had got in touch with the man regarding a job but he raped her on December 12, 2013, in his car and threatened to kill her if she disclosed the incident to anyone.
A FIR was subsequently lodged against the man under relevant sections of the IPC.
False complaint’ The court, however, acquitted him, saying that she lodged a false complaint due to a quarrel between them after she denied the man commission for finding her a job.
