Didn't ask him to marry: CJI SA Bobde clarifies on the rape case
While commenting on the controversy raised on the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said that the court has the highest respect for women.
He said that the news and activist saw the "will you marry her" comment out of context, just meant to tarnish the image of the court.
In the context of the case, the Supreme Court said that it had asked the petitioner whether he would marry the complainant.
The court said that it did not ask him to "go and marry". Bobde said that the comments he made during a hearing of a rape case last week were completely misreported.
Letting you know, while hearing a case of the govt employee who was alleged for raping a girl, the Supreme Court had asked him whether he wants to marry the victim.
