In false promise to marry cases, the real story often begins long before the FIR
The FIR is often filed at the end of the relationship.
But the evidence usually begins much earlier.
Recent reports from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh involve allegations of sexual exploitation on the promise of marriage arising from relationships that reportedly began through Instagram, personal acquaintances, and long-standing associations.
Some allegations span several years.
Others involve accusations of forced abortion, land fraud, and even the alleged involvement of family members.
At first glance, these cases appear to have very little in common.
But they all expose the same litigation reality.
By the time a Section 69 BNS case reaches the police station, the most important events may have already taken place years earlier.
The real battle is often fought over the chronology of the relationship.
How did the parties first meet?
What representations were made?
What do chats, photographs, and call records reveal?
Were families aware of the relationship?
Did financial transactions take place?
How did the conduct of the parties evolve over time?
These questions are increasingly becoming more important than the allegations contained in the FIR itself.
Because allegations are made at one point in time.
Relationships unfold over many years.
That is why investigators and courts are increasingly examining patterns of conduct rather than isolated incidents.
The legal principle, however, remains unchanged.
Section 69 BNS is concerned with consent obtained through deception.
Because in relationship-driven criminal litigation, the truth often lies not in the day the FIR was filed.
But in the years that preceded it.
And that is precisely why those facing prosecution under Section 69 BNS need more than reactions to the FIR.
They need an understanding of the history that will ultimately be scrutinised in court.
For this reason, we run a WhatsApp community for both — victim and accused under Section 69 BNS, which today has more than 200 members.
The community focuses on legal awareness, practical litigation insights, and important judicial developments.
Because in cases where the FIR marks the end of a relationship, the defence often begins by reconstructing everything that came before it.
