INDIA – #MenToo: Cops Losses Once Live-In Status, Intersect Rape Law
With live-in relationships no longer taboo (in fact legally recognized) legal luminaries on Monday 14 May 2019, said that when a woman complains of rape if the relationship ends without a promised marriage, the police should first treat her as a civil case of breach of promise. They say it’s time for a discussion on the contradiction between the legal acceptance of live-in relationships (by the Domestic Violence Act) – and as a result of consensual relationships that are not marriages – and the approach of the police to file an FIR on charges of rape against a man charged with fraudulent consent by a woman. Justice (Retd), V M Kanade of the Bombay high court, said “The Supreme Court has recognized live-in relationships. Live-in is a concept derived from the Western world and is no longer as taboo as it was Five (5) decades ago. This shows that the law needs to deviate from the general rule governing rape cases and make an exception for some cases.”

INDIA – Turn the Model Code Of Conduct In India Into Law And Avoid Future EC Bias
In 1960, election officials and political party representatives came together during the assembly elections in Kerala to help frame a short set of DOs and DON’Ts for the elections. The DOs and DON’Ts were about general conduct, meetings, processions, conduct on polling day, conduct in polling booths, observers, regulation of the party in power and guidelines on election manifestos. For all subsequent national elections, they were consecrated as the ‘Model Code of Conduct for Guidance of Political Parties and Candidates’ (MCC). The Election Commission (EC) would prefer to use its discretionary powers to handle MCC violations quickly. It is clear, however, that the EC has overlooked some glaring gaps in the MCC that were exposed in the current elections. Thus, a Member of Parliament for Thiruvananthapuram and former MoS for External Affairs and HRD has stated that “The credibility of the EC is directly linked to the credibility of Indian democracy. As such, getting the rules right is the best way to start. We all agree we need an electoral code of conduct, but it’s time for an improved model.”
