Supreme Court says a deteriorating relationship does not make consensual sex rape

The Supreme Court has ruled that a relationship turning sour after consensual intercourse cannot retroactively convert that consent into rape. The observation reflects the court's view that a later breakdown of ties does not by itself establish that the earlier act lacked consent. The ruling underscores the need to distinguish between consent given at the time and disputes that arise afterward. Legal experts see the remark as clarifying how courts should weigh consent in cases arising from failed relationships.
