Can someone charged for rape when penetration not happened?

One of my friend was in love with a girl from long time( many years) & in that period they stayed in hotels 4-5 times together although they were close but they never maid physical relationship(penetration never happened).

The boy wanted to marry her from the start (he somehow managed to agree his parents as well) but she was not agree to marry as her parents were not ready for the marriage.

 

After waiting for very long around 11 years boy decided to go ahead and marry someone else.

But her brother is threatening him that he will file a complaint against him if he will not marry his sister as her parents are agreeing now.

 

So will it be consider as rape case? Just because they stayed together in hotels & how boy can prove that the girl is still virgin?

Also wanted to mention that the girl is elder than Boy will this help?

 

Here are more details:

Now after so many years (around 11 years) when boy maid his mind to move ahead all of the sudden her parents become ready to marry her with him as she is not ready to marry anyone else.

But in between boy's family is not ready for this marriage and as they always supported him he can't go against them now also when girl never went against her parents how boy can do it now. Even when his mother’s medical condition is very bad.

The boy also doesn’t want to marry her as she is no longer the girl who always said that it is not necessary that we should get married. She has mentioned him so many times that as her parents are not ready she can’t marry him & we should end this relationship.

Why you had wait for her 11 years when she had already given her decision that not to marry with you as her parents are not ready for this marriage, had she any proof of your affairs like photograph, emails , videos , proof of staying in hotels with you ,etc. if she have the proofs then she can drag you in the rape charges . What sort of proof with you for your innocence ?

In April 2013 the Indian Parliament introduced amendments to the Indian Penal Code making various changes to the anti-rape laws in India.[56] The offence of rape under Section 375, have made both penile and non-penile insertion into bodily orifices of a woman by a man an offence. The definition is broadly defined in some aspect, with acts like penetration by penis, or any object or any part of body to any extent, into the v**gina, mouth, urethra or anus of a woman or making her to do so with another person or applying of mouth to s*xual organs without the consent or will of the woman constitutes the offence of rape.[57]

The section has also clarified that penetration means "penetration to any extent", and lack of physical resistance is immaterial for constituting an offence. Except in certain aggravated situation the punishment will be imprisonment not less than seven years but which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine. In aggravated situations, punishment will be rigorous imprisonment for a term which shall not be less than ten years but which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine

Hello Raj.

If it can be proved that it is a false rape case, the Court can acquit the accused in this case. The same can be proved by the contradictions which are bound to be present in the case of the victim, thereby making her story ‘false and improbable.’ Also, the medical test of the girl would indicate that absence of rape and as such the evidences provided would indicate that the girl has levied false allegations of rape against the accused. When a false rape case has been proved, the accused in a false rape case can file a petition at the Sessions court to file complaint against the woman for registering false complaint.

Various judgments of the Courts of India have indicated that where there has been a false rape case, the woman making the compliant can be slapped with a fine and also be sentenced under various provisions of the law, like Section 211b of the IPC (making false charge of offence with an intent to injure), and/ or Section 182 (giving false information with an intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person). A District Court in Delhi issued a statement that cases where a young man is arrested and falsely charged for raping a girl he was in love with, indicates a more widespread problem with false rape allegations being used in courts by parents who disapprove of the marriages in question.
