A young man and woman were in a relationship, but he never promised to marry her. After they broke up, she accused him of making false promises of marriage. What can he do and what might he face in this situation?

In India, false promise of marriage is not a criminal offense. The woman can file a civil suit for damages based on breach of promise. However, without proof of a definite promise of marriage, the case may be difficult to prove. The man can defend himself by proving that no such promise was made and the relationship ended due to mutual consent.
