My boyfriend promised to marry me, saying he truly loved me. But now he says he married another girl due to family pressure. I found out he was seeing both of us at the same time! He cheated on me. Can I take legal action? If so, what laws should I use? It might seem silly, but this situation is deeply painful. Please help me understand my options.

Under Indian law, a promise to marry without any formal engagement or legal agreement is not legally binding. While his actions may be morally reprehensible, you might have limited legal recourse. However, you could explore options like filing a case for cheating and emotional distress, but proving damages might be challenging. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to understand your specific legal options.
