5.On perusal of the 161(3) statement of the de facto complainant, it is made clear that the petitioner had inter-course forcibly with the de facto complainant, by taking her to Rameshwaram and thereafter, the petitioner had inter-course with the defacto complainant on many occasions by giving false promise of marriage. The medical report also reveals the fact that the hyman is not intact, while the de facto complainant was examined.
