The Supreme Court emphasized caution in pre-marital relations and urged mediation and compensation in a rape bail case involving a false promise of marriage, the bench said.
- On Monday in New Delhi, the Supreme Court of India cautioned that a boy and a girl before marriage are `total strangers` and should be careful about pre‑marital physical relations during a bail hearing of a man accused of rape on the false promise of marriage.

- The complaint alleges the man recorded intimate videos in Dubai without the woman’s permission and threatened circulation; the woman later learned he remarried on January 19, 2024.
- The court asked the woman's counsel to explore settlement, suggested compensation, and posted the matter for Wednesday to hear both sides.
- The case remains before the Supreme Court after prior denials of bail, as the bench questioned why the woman travelled to Dubai and noted the matter appeared consensual.
