Hi
Engagement is not recognized in any marriage law.
Only marriages are not recognized.
You can choose to share the expenses incurred for engagement ceremony as a good will gesture.
There is no compulsion/ law that you are liable to repay the expenses for engagement ceremony or pay money as compensation for cancellation of wedding proposal.
