Q: Legal implication for breaking off engagement

Legal implications for engagement breakoff

Advocate Sridharan Rajan Ramkumar answered
There is no law which requires any penalty for breaking engagement. However if one party has incurred sole expenses towards the engagement then they may try to recover the same by alleging that the same was broken due to a dowry demand being unfulfilled.
