Whoever, by deceitful means or by making promise to marry to a woman without any intention of fulfilling the same, has sexual intercourse with her, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years and shall also be liable to fine.

BNS 69 is a NEW offence with no IPC counterpart. It codifies sexual intercourse by deceitful means or false promise of marriage as a distinct offence (previously prosecuted under IPC 375's 'consent obtained by misconception' interpretive doctrine). Up to 10 years imprisonment with mandatory fine. The Explanation broadens 'deceitful means' to include inducement for/false promise of employment/promotion or marrying by suppressing identity.
