I am assuming that he gave her assurance of marriage.They did not really show that in the epi.
Indian society is deeply patriarchal but some of the laws are so outdated and biased towards women.

I think as per indian law even if its consensual if later the guy withdraws any promise of marriage then that is termed as rape..

Is this for real? This is not logical. And discriminatory against men.

I know it does seem like that, but you also have to remember that in india, in situations of pregnancy where even though both male and female are equally involved in consensual sex resulting in a pregnancy out of wedlock, it is solely the woman who receives the brunt of society whilst the man gets off scott free without being blamed for being equally involved or often having to take equal responsibility. In reality and practise women are still at the most heavy social disadvantage so such laws in a place like india where society gives men a free pass for their mistakes and puts all the onus of mistakes even committed by a man onto a woman, such laws make sense.

And I'm merely talking from the perspective of a born and raised Brit who grew up within a close-knitted south asian community where I can still see how much more societal pressure there is on women to behave a certain way whilst the males enjoy far much more liberty.

We talk about women having far much more rights than men nowadays and the law being tilted in women's favour, but that's on paper and in words only, as in practise women are still highly disadvantaged, especially when it comes to actually finally receiving justice.
