Where is the question of an offence when a relationship is consensual? the Supreme Court on Monday (April 27, 2026) asked a woman who had challenged an order of the Madhya Pradesh High Court that had quashed an FIR against her former live-in partner in a case of alleged sexual assault on a false promise of marriage.

A bench of Justices B.V. Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan noted that the woman lived together with the man and also had a child from him.
