Kundali Mismatch After Intimacy: Delhi HC Warns of Criminal Charges
•Delhi High Court refused bail to a man accused of physical relationship on marriage promise, then backing out due to 'kundali' mismatch.
•Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma stated that refusing marriage on horoscope incompatibility after repeated assurances could attract criminal liability under Section 69 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
•The court noted the woman withdrew an initial complaint after marriage assurances, but lodged a fresh FIR when the man refused due to 'kundali' mismatch.
•The court emphasized that while criminal law isn't for failed relationships, refusing marriage based on non-matching 'kundalis' after prior assurances raises serious concerns.
•Bail was dismissed due to the gravity of allegations, material collected, and pending chargesheet.
