My question is whether the wido had sex with out monetory benefits each time they both met? Or had sex only on the promise of a marriage in future?

How can this be even called rape is the question. @Avinash, I agree that the silver lining is that women knocked the door of court and found a favorable judgement, but I believe that this can further de-motivate men to have sexual relationship with women, even if the women are consenting to do so. Who would want to get into troubles like this, even after having done sex with consent of the woman afterall. The judgement would strengthen the opinion that blind women are not quite sexual being, which is already a prevalent belief in the society. This is truly illogical and one-sided in my opinion. Unfortunate. Regards, Prateek agarwal.
