NEW DELHI: India :  A trial court on Friday sentenced a man to seven years imprisonment for raping his live-in partner on the pretext of marrying her and later forcing her to abort.

Additional sessions judge Yogesh Khanna sentenced 31-year-old Hari Mohan Sharma, an MBA, after holding him guilty of raping the LLB student. "Considering the nature of offence, I sentence Sharma to rigorous imprisonment for seven years," the court said while imposing a fine of Rs 5,000 { 293 QR } { 81 USD } on the convict. 

Sharma, a resident of UP, was arrested after the girl lodged a complaint in 2011 when he refused to marry her after she became pregnant. In her complaint, the girl alleged Sharma raped her several times between December 2010 and January 2011 on the pretext of marriage. TOI news.
 

Sharma had claimed he was being falsely implicated. The court, however, rejected his plea saying a live-in relationship is not just residing together but also a commitment to be with the loved one in the future.
 

While convicting Sharma, the court dismissed his argument that the act was consensual. "The consent obtained cannot be said to be free consent because the girl believed that they would get married," the judge said.
