Cancelling wedding after engagement
Cancelling wedding after engagement
Hi Experts,I got a question,
I got engaged before 1 year which was arranged and after 3-4 months of engagement I found out that mentality of both of us doesn't match. After 3-4 months of engagement I started convinced a girl that I am not feeling comfortable and will not be able to marry with you. She responded that every thing will be managed. Then my parents started convincing her parents for not to go ahead with the marriage. Her parents didn't agree to discontinue. Then after I strated convincing her calmly that I seriously don't feel for you at all. If we will get marry, we will not be able to live happily. Every thing will be ruined. I am not at all in a condition to get marry you. Then she along with her family pressurized me as well as my family to get marry what ever may be the reason, they don't care. They are not at all concerned about the results of one sided marriage. Now they are going to file suit against me and my family alleging that our family had asked for dowry, and as results of not fulfillment of demands, we are discontinuing marriage. Infact we have not asked single Rupee form a girls family as a part of dowry..
In addition, Father of a girl is working in CID department, and he is having much references and almost all the department know him very well and all of them are in his favor just a part of courtesy. They are just using powers and making a mental harassment for marriage every day.
I need suggestions can an engaged boy be arrested under dowry act ??
Can it be bailable ??
How to proove that we have not asked single as a part of dowry??
Can any other legal action they can taken under this situation?? What would be the consequences of it??
I am basically from Bihar but currently working in Ahmedabad, parents are staying in Bihar only. Even girls family are located in Bihar..
Thanks for advice ,
