Refusal to marry after intimacy over ‘kundali’ mismatch can attract BNS charges: HC

Refusing marriage after a physical relationship, based on a horoscope mismatch despite prior assurances, can now lead to charges under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for deceitful sexual intercourse. The Delhi High Court made this observation while denying bail to a man accused of such actions, highlighting repeated promises of marriage that were later broken.
