Yes.You can file a very strong case on rape on the given facts against him.A person who has sexual intercourse with any other with promise to marry and he fails to abide by his promise is liable for the offence of rape under Indian Penal Code.

Yes. Live in relations have been recognized as equivalent to real marriage in some cases by the court. Apart from seeking punishment for your partner, you can also seek mantainance and various other remedies against your partner.

This is a serious offence please do not take it lightly and take an action by loging a complaint as soon as possible or else you may make your case weak if you continue to suffer in silence. Act fast by lodging a police complaint
