Relationship history and consent
When a Supreme Court judge asks, in open court, "She went on to have a child with the man without marriage, and now she is saying rape and assault — what is this?", two things happen simultaneously.
An IT worker has come for-ward with allegations of rape during a party in Kolkata’s New Town, in the wake of which police have arrested at least three persons.
According to the survivor, she was subjected to sexual assault after consuming alcohol at the event. The incident took place during a party organised at a highrise in New Town on Friday night that she had attended with acquaintances. According to her account, she was allegedly coerced into consuming alcohol and subsequently experienced harassment, which escalated into an assault.
