Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
1) you cant be forced to marry girl against your wishes
2)offer to pay the expenses incurred at time of engagement and return all the gifts received by you and family members .
3) prepare list of gifts received . obtain signature of girl / father that all gifts have been returned
4) video recording will help you in case false case is filed by girl and her parents
5) contest case on merits . obtain Anticipatory bail from sessions court
File a complaint against her father about his threats for implicating you on false dowry case based on the recording you have. Return gifts etc, if taken on engagement.He can not legally force you to marry her.
nice to keep record, collect all evidence you will not be arrested in any dowry case unless her father has some concrete evidence ( anresh singh vs bihar) you should avoid to contact her and not file any cross case. ready to face all challenges and be firm that false case will not sustain in court.
1. You have taken a smart step in recording the threats metted by the father of your proposed wife,
2. Lodge a police complaint immediately against her father for the said threat,
3. Send a copy of the said police complaint to the S.P.,
4. File an application u/s156(3) of Cr.P.C. praying for a direction upon the police to investigate and act based on your complaint,
5. After that send a letter duly cancelling the engagement showing the reason that the marriage proposal could not be materialised for the threats given to you,
6. Do return the gifts you have received from her family, if any.
1. Engagement and Marriage are two distinct concepts. The former does not obligate you to perform the latter.
2. You are free to break the engagement.
3. Calling off marriage should be followed by returning the gifts, if any, which were mutually exchanged.
4. Since you have the voice recording of her father you have nothing to worry as you can use the recording in the court to prove your innocence.
Dear Querist
file a complaint before district legal service authority mediation cell for settlement with them, the mediation cell issue notice to them and after that they will try to settle the matter amicably, if settlement is not possible then you may file a complaint before court against her father for filing false cases against you and your family, if you refused to marry.
