My friend is in a tough situation. She was promised marriage by her boyfriend six years ago, and he even convinced her to quit her job. Now, after all this time, he’s refusing to marry her. They even submitted their marriage forms at the registrar office! What legal options does she have?

Your friend can file a case for breach of promise to marry under the Indian Contract Act, seeking damages and compensation for the loss she incurred due to her boyfriend’s actions. She can also file a criminal complaint under Section 493 of the Indian Penal Code for cheating and criminal breach of trust. The marriage registration forms can be presented as evidence in court.
