The only legal implication is that an aggrieved person can claim damages if wrongfull loss has been caused to such person but still in such case reason for engagement breakoff has to be seen in the light of the facts and circumstances of the case.

There is no law which requires any penalty for breaking engagement. However if one party has incurred sole expenses towards the engagement then they may try to recover the same by alleging that the same was broken due to a dowry demand being unfulfilled. Therefore break off as amicably as possible.
