My girlfriend, a Brahmin, and I, a Khandayat, had a serious relationship where we shared intimate moments. She promised to marry me, but now, both she and her family have changed their mind. I’m heartbroken and want her in my life, but if she refuses, I’m considering legal action. Is this something I can pursue in court?

Indian law does not recognize a promise to marry as a legal basis for a claim. While you may feel hurt and betrayed, a court cannot force someone to marry against their will. You can’t pursue legal action based solely on a broken promise to marry.

Dear Sir/Madam, I was convicted in a dowry case (Section 498A) in 2013 by the Taluka court in Chandrapur. I received a six-month sentence and a fine of ₹2,000. I appealed the verdict to the Senior Division of the Chandrapur Civil and Sessions Court. Since 2013, I’ve been on bail while awaiting the outcome of the appeal. During this period, I have been preparing for government jobs and have cleared several exams. I now have an opportunity to join a government position. However, I am worried about police verification. I am only disclosing the pending case at the district court, Chandrapur, during the assessment process. I am not mentioning the conviction. Will my job be at risk during police verification? Should I be upfront about the conviction? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.
