Can I file a case for breach of marriage promise?
I am divorced and was in a relationship for 18 months. We had a physical relationship on the pretext of marriage and now he is not ready to marry. Can I file a case? If so, what are the consequences?
You can sue him on the ground of sexual exploitation with false promise of marriage. As per Indian law, if a man commits sexual intercourse with a woman by pretending that he would marry her but in fact, does not want to marry, it falls within the criminal jurisprudence under Section 69 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. On conviction, he can be sent behind the bar for 10 years. However, proving such cases is pretty hard, since courts usually require clear evidence of fraud and absence of consent. Meeting a lawyer will help you in the effective management of the legal process.
Ma’am, you can take legal action against that person for breach of promise to marry under section 69 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
