Promised girl to marry her how can I back out


07-May-2023 (In Family Law)

I had an affair with a girl from last 9 years. I have been emotionally pressured also for getting married from her mom side since starting and I also told them that I will marry with your daughter only but now I am not comfortable to get married with her. How to refuse them? I am scared of any legal action, if girl is hypersensitive and try to commit suicide or try to threat me of any kind of legal action. How to tell them that I don't feel like getting married and also prevent ourselves from such threats? Note: I work and live in Abroad and my GF is in India. Kindly Advice

It was just a promise to marry, you have actually not married her so please dont get nervous and dont assume of the consequences. Please let the girl know that you do not wish to marry her. Also, marriage as per indian matrimonial laws can be performed only when both the parties are consenting to the same and there is no harm in rejecting a girl to whom you dont want to marry. No case can be made against you.

Morally you may be wrong if you dont get married to her but legally you are not bound to marry her. And in case you are fearing of her committing suicide, try to tell her your limitation and your fears and why you are uncomfortable but after this much long commitment any sensitive girl may try to end her life or may not be able to trust anyone in her life anymore. If you can live with this burden throughout your life, you can tell her straightaway

Don't worry. This happens in everyone's life. You have the right to refuse to marry with her. For your safety , you do one thing. File a complaint against them before the SHO and DCP concerned and you are free from any legal action. If she committed suicide , you are not considered responsible for her act. You are living in abroad that is a plus point in your case. Don't reveal your place of work as well as your residence to her. Try to make distance with her. Talking terms should be maintained. Revert me . All the best.

Look this is a very sensitive issue which can put you in legal traps very easily. The only way to escape from this situation is to lodge a complaint against the girl and her family alleging that she is blackmailing you and extorting money from you on the condition that they won't lodge any complaint against you, but before doing this you must deposit some money in their account for at least three months showing some emotional attachment. You must do this very cautiously.

Hi, if you did not make physical relation ship with her than nothing is wrong to say her that you don' t want to marry her as the circumstances has been changed. and fairly there is no legal responsibility on you for her.
