I'm sorry, I don't speak Hindi

High Flying Bird aims to be the go-to travel blog for everyone interested in "in-between travel," travel somewhere above the $10-a-day backpacking trip and below the $500-a-day coach-tour-guided-never-see-the-real-country trip, with an emphasis on information useful for the traveling female.

But this news tidbit from our favorite travel destination, India, is a shout out of warning particularly for our male readers.

Per a January 12 Indian court ruling, having sex with a woman after a false promise of marriage is rape. "The so called consent under a false promise to marriage is no consent at all."

The man, who had promised marriage to his female neighbor, was sentenced to 7 years.

Namaste and keep your mouth shut!
