I think what Dev done was even worse than rape knowing fully well that he did not marry her and his niyat changed seeing her innocence...I feel liek killing him😡

Rape the victim knows whats happening where as Geet did not...she just let him do whatever coz she thought she was married.

Going back it was shown in a evil light than a normal one.

In english law they will look at the 'mens rea' ..which is the mental aspect would a reasonable man know that what he was doing was wrong?

In Dev's case yes he did....so I do class him as a rapist

I don't agree with u, rape is explained in different ways, rape can be forced, but in some situations r not, from his side he knew it was fake marriage, but she didn't so it's rape........

Guys, I'm not going todebate whether its rape or not. I'm gonig to put forward my views on Geet forgiving Dev. Even if it was a rape, its all upto the victim to deicde whether they want to forgive the crime or not.. When Priyanka Gandhi met Nalini Murugan and forgave her, I did not like it initially. But then, we need to understand the state of mind of the person who is taking such a big decision. They probably take it as a way to let that deep pain go.. specially when the wrong doer is repenting. Pashchytap se bad ke koi saza nahi hai.. Because such person is dying under the burden of his own sins everyday. So its bigger than a death sentence where the person dies only once.

also trying to forse one's view on others can be a form of rape if taken in the broader sense...like trying to make someone admit that she was raped when she doesn't feel she was...the law is very well written and is an example of how far we have come to understanding this term in all its contexts but we can't use it just because it fits...

it does not matter what we all or geet perceives it as. There are 3 situations that have been identified as rape by Indain penal code/judicial system. If geet or someone in geet's situation had gone to court and CVs had shown this in the serial, by indian law, the charges against Dev will be of rape and deception.

This is the actual penal code

[375. Rape.

A man is said to commit "rape" who, except in the case hereinafter excepted, has sexual intercourse with a woman under circumstances falling under any of the six following descriptions: -

First: - Against her will.

Secondly: -without her consent.

Thirdly: - With her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her or any person in whom she is interested in fear of death or of hurt.

Fourthly: -With her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband, and that her consent is given because she believes that he is another man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married.

Fifthly: - With her consent, when, at the time of giving such consent, by reason of unsoundness of mind or intoxication or the administration by him personally or through another of any stupefying or unwholesome substance, she is unable to understand the nature and consequences of that to which she gives consent.

Sixthly: - With or without her consent, when she is under sixteen years of age.

Explanation: - Penetration is sufficient to constitute the sexual intercourse necessary to the offence of rape.

i am absolutely sure he would fit the bill...i am also thinking that he would have a lot more charges applied to him than just rape and deception if we broaden the frame of focus...
