Rape: Woman files rape and dowry case against partner | Surat News

Surat: A 27-year-old woman from Telangana has filed a rape and dowry complaint against her live-in partner. She alleges that he entered into physical relations with her several times and promised her marriage, while his mother demanded Rs 10 lakh in cash and five tolas in gold for the marriage. Police have booked the man and his mother under Section 376(n) of the Indian Penal Code (raping the same woman several times) and the Dowry Act. According to details, the woman divorced her husband on September 23 after falling in love with this man on Instagram in 2017. Since then, they have been living in a live-in relationship, but without a written contract. When the woman discussed marriage with his parents in December 2023, his mother demanded cash and gold. On May 15, she heard the accused telling his relative that he did not want to marry the woman. When she objected to him, he got angry and threw her belongings out of the house. When she threatened to call the police, he assured her that he would convince his parents. On May 20, her mother came from her home and threatened to kill the woman and file a complaint under the Atrocities Act. The victim then filed a complaint of rape and dowry robbery with the Udhna police on May 28. According to the police, Edala works as a designer in Surat.
