unnatural sex medical evidence possible after 1 year

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Due to delay, of course, the evidence (specially the medical evidence) would be weak. But, there would be your verbal / direct evidence. Generally, in such cases, the evidence of the victim is given a substantial weightage. If you have some other evidence that also you can submit. You may try to get the medical examination also done, but this evidence may or may not be positive. There are cases where complaints in rape cases have been given after long delays, more so in similar technical rape cases wherein a false promise of marriage is given. You have to take a call whether or not you should try to file the FIR. You have to take a chance if there is no other option available to you. If needed, you may consult a local lawyer by sharing full details of facts with him.
