"Section 376 (rape section) of Indian Penal Court classifies "consensual sex" as rape if consent has been obtained by promising marriage or job.

More than 70% of rape cases are against boyfriends in India when he refuses to marry his girlfriend. The victim can throw rape charges on boyfriend by stating that he promised to marry her. This way a boyfriend can be forced by his partner to get married to her forcibly.

Interestingly if a girl refuses to marry her boyfriend, it can not be termed as RAPE."
