Additional Session judge G D Bansod asked accused Rahul Khemraj, found guilty of raping a minor girl, to either tie the knot with her or opt for a jail term of five years, awarded to him by the court on Wednesday.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 and ordered a three-month prison term on default of payment.
Rahul had sexually abused the girl in the pretext of marrying her and later deserted her, following which she lodged a police complaint against him.
However, it is still unknown as to which option was taken up by the accused after the court announced the verdict on Wednesday.
