false promise of marriage
8 months ago
Sir my brother's girlfriend cheated my brother by making false promise of marriage, which my brother went into depression, last week my brother also attempted suicide.. can I apply any law against the girl
A.Dear Client,
There can be no action for breach of promise unless a contract to marry has been made. The IPC does not have any specific section on making false promises of marriage, courts have often seen such cases and currently deal with them under sections of the IPC dealing with rape and consent. It can't be considered cheating if a marriage promise is violated. In a recent judgment passed by the Karnataka High Court, the Court reiterated that not following through the promise of marriage would not amount to the offense of cheating under Section 420 of the IPC. So, in the given situation, you can opt for expert counseling for your brother to come out of his depression/trauma.
