He kept relationship for more than 6 years. We roamed around, stayed in hotels, had physical relationship and now due to dowry greed he is ditching me saying his parents are not ready to accept.

Though the fact is his elder brother is marrying a girl from other caste because his brother is not ready to give up. He has spoiled my seven years and I hv lost my virginity for a fraud. Please suggest what legal action can I take against him?
