Pre-marital sex immoral, says Indian judge

A NEW Delhi judge says pre-marital sex is "immoral" and against the "tenets of every religion".

Judge Virender Bhat made the remarks while acquitting a man accused of rape, ruling that sex between two adults on the promise of marriage did not amount to rape, the Hindustan Times reported on Monday.

The complaint was filed by a woman who alleged wrongdoing by a 29-year-old man working at a multinational firm with whom she had sex after he promised to marry her.

The judge said a "grown-up, educated and office-going woman" who has sex on the assurance of marriage "does so at her own peril".

"She must understand the consequences of her act and must know that there is no guarantee that the boy would fulfil his promise," the ruling said.

"She must understand that she is engaging in an act which not only is immoral but also against the tenets of every religion. No religion in the world allows pre-marital sex."

Pre-marital sex has been traditionally disapproved of in the largely conservative and religious Indian society.

Last year, a court in New Delhi said live-in relationships were immoral and an "infamous Western cultural product".

In 2010, the Supreme Court dismissed 22 criminal cases against Tamil actress Khushboo who spoke in support of the right of women to have pre-marital sex.

The court also backed the right of unmarried couples to live together.
