Delhi HC has quashed an FIRĀ against a 19-year-old for the offence of rape against a 17-year-old girl due to the case's circumstances, including that the accused and minor had entered into sexual relations consensually, begotten a child together and that the minor's mother had no objection to the quashing of the FIR. The petitioners claimed that they were family friends, were in a romantic relationship, and got married out of their own free will.
