Legal remedies for breach of promise to marry are available under Indian law. As your divorce lawyers in Chandigarh, we can guide you through the process. The Indian Penal Code (IPC) under Section 415 can be used to file a case for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property. This includes a situation where a man promises to marry a woman with no intention of doing so.
Proving the promise of marriage in court requires evidence. It may include text messages, emails, gifts, or any other material that can establish the promise of marriage. Witness testimonies can also be used. As your divorce advocates in Chandigarh, we can help gather the required evidence.
If your husband is found guilty of breaching his promise to marry, he can face imprisonment which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine as per Section 420 of IPC. However, the punishment varies depending on the severity and circumstances of the case.
In terms of compensation, it is subjective and will be decided by the court based on the evidence presented and the damage caused due to the breach of promise. The court cannot compel him to marry you but it can provide monetary compensation for the mental agony and hardship faced.
The process of filing a lawsuit involves several steps. Firstly, a complaint is lodged in the police station against the accused. If the police refuse to register the complaint, a complaint can be made to the Superintendent of Police or Judicial Magistrate of First Class. Post this, investigation and trial will take place. The duration of the process depends on various factors like the complexity of the case, evidence, court proceedings etc.
