Hi
Cancellation of an engagement or a scheduled marriage is not an offence under any law.
However, if you have given any dowry for the purpose of conduct of marriage or if he has taken money from you/your parents under the pretext of marriage, then it constitutes an offence u/s 420 cheating, breach of trust etc.
if the boy has abused the relationship by engaging in sexual acts prior to marriage (under the guise of marriage), the boy is liable to be punished for rape .
Ofcourse any criminal complaint against the boy will destroy his career .
