Hi
you can file the case against the boy in the following sections Section 417, I.P.C. Sections 323, and 506, I.P.C.
Some times depending the facts even a rape case (section 376) can also be filed as courts have always held the way , consensual sex with a promise to marry, but later not keeping the promise amounts to Rape.
Hope this information is useful
