Boyfriend denying to marry girl after promising for marriage


14-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
In 2004, this boy from patna proposed to me while we were in college. Since then v had been in a relationship where i also financially helped him a lot. He had committed for marriage back then and had numerous times revisited his commitment to my parents. But his mother was apparently against intercaste marriage. He maintained that he will get her on board for marriage to me and my parents. I had met majority of his family members except his father. We all shared cordial relation except for his mother due myself belonging to SC status. Everything was fine even till this august 3 or 4, when suddenly he went out of delhi and his family cut ties to me. I had been telling him of marriage and he was consenting till this date. However, upon moving out of delhi, he reiterated how his family guruji had given negative reviews about our marriage (something he had been telling me since 2006-07, but overridden it to continue relation even till now), now he is reluctant. Can something be done?

This is a typical matrimonial issue/promise for which various other things are to be ascertained before taking any step. I don't want to ask the specific questions in open forum. If you can fix an appointment certainly a way out would be in your favour.

Hi, my name is Gurmeet Singh, Advocate. it depends what you really need to do. either you need to marry him or not. if you wish to marry him then filing a criminal case against him or others is no a bright idea as u will have to live with him. u can send him a legal notice

In present situation there are so many persuasive coupled with legal options to compel him to marry with you. A friend cannot cheat a girlfriend like this. A detailed personal discussion is needed to utilize these options.
