In a shocker, the Himachal Pradesh High Court has said that a woman is responsible for her own chastity and dignity in a relationship. The court made these observations while hearing the bail plea of a rape accused.
The order was made while the High Court was hearing a plea filed by a woman, who alleged that the accused, who is a married man, had forced her into a physical relationship on the pretext of marriage for over a year.
The court also said that the accused was known to the woman and the case is a clear example of a relationship gone sour.
According to reports, Justice Tarlok Singh Chauhan said that documents suggested that the accused and the victim were more than "just friends".
The court said that when the victim knew about the accused being married, she should have restrained herself and "not indulge in intimate activities".
