My girlfriend and I have been together for almost a decade. Her family has been pushing for marriage since the beginning, and I’ve always said I’d marry her. But now, I’m not sure about getting married. I’m worried about the potential for legal action if I break it off. She’s very sensitive, and I’m afraid she might react badly, even threaten suicide or legal action. How can I tell her family I’m not interested in marriage without risking this kind of drama? I live abroad, and she’s in India, making things even more complicated. What should I do?

It’s understandable to be cautious, but Indian law doesn’t typically grant legal recourse for broken engagements unless there’s a formal agreement or significant financial losses involved. The best approach is to be honest and direct with your girlfriend, explaining your feelings clearly and respectfully. You can also consider seeking guidance from a mediator or family counselor to navigate this sensitive situation.
