In India if a woman has consensual sex, but the relationship doesn't lead to marriage, she can claim "rape."
By this definition most women who are dating in the West without later marriage are being "raped." This is how numbers are inflated in India. (though still lower than US)

In this particular case, the woman had an extra-marital affair for 9 years! When husband found out, he divorced her. Then she asked her lover to marry him. When he refused, she claimed "rape." (Apparently she didn't know it was rape for 9 years). And the guy has been arrested!
Of course, men who lie about promises of marriage with no intention of following through are a**holes and should be held to account. But is it "rape" or breach of faith?
The problem is lying with an intention to deceive. But it is still not "rape" though it is certainly betrayal and breach of promise.
