The Delhi High Court has ruled that consensual sexual activity between two adults, irrespective of their marital status, cannot be considered misconduct. Justice Amit Mahajan made the declaration during a case involving a married man accused of rape under the false promise of marriage. The court emphasized that the woman's continued association with the man, despite knowing his marital status, indicated her consent.
