On 29th October 2020, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court granted bail to a man who was accused of impregnating a seventeen-year-old girl after he stated that he would marry the victim as she attains majority.

The condition for granting bail to the petitioner was that he would marry the victim on or before 30/10/2021 and submit the Marriage Registration Certificate before the respondent police.

Hon’ble Court clarified that if the petitioner fails to marry the victim, then the police can proceed against the petitioner as per law.

Background of the case:-

As per the prosecution, the petitioner fell in love with the victim and had sexual relations with her as well due to which the victim became pregnant. Hence, a complaint against the petitioner was made.

Contentions raised before the Court:-

Learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the petitioner and the victim were closely related and had fallen in love with each other, and the petitioner was ready to marry the victim.

It was further stated that the petitioner has been languishing in jail for more than fifty days and he should be granted bail.

Learned government advocate opposed the request for bail and submitted that the petitioner took advantage of a close relative(victim) and impregnated her.
