Dear Sir/Madam,
My sister was engaged on 1st of july2012 in mumbai. When we held up the engagement we were demanded lot of things as in ac hall, food for people, posh locality so as to parking is not a problem we gave them what ever was possible and tried to keep the event upto the mark as we could. When the time came to search for marraige hall we were asked for 5 star hotel and a specific date i.e 23rd dec as they has their daughter arriving for short period from 16th december to 10th jan. When we spoke initially of the marraige we were told that local marraige hall would be preferable but after engagement they insisted they wanted it to be in a five star hotel close to his office as his promotion was to happen in few days. my father is govt offcer and works for police department it was difficult to stay their demands we are three sisters and we thought of funding and getting the marraige done as the guy was good looking and educated. i lost my granpa in two weeks time and cud not get time to run behind the hotel things and finally we lost the venue. on this her FIL said we are not gonna change the dates and threatened my husband that he will break the marraige my dad begged not to do as it was girls life the same day they found another option lil less exoensive but they said will rethink on it.we waited for their call. we also realised from our sister that the guy used to approch her physically and started asking for more gold indirectly.
after three days they said that the guy doesnt want to continue with the girl as she has not show interestin him and doesnt call him rather he spoke thrice a day met couple of times. we all were shocked as it was a surprise the issue was never the relationship. It was the parent ego clash. They didnot think of my sister even once what could be her state of mind she is depressed and sometimes i fear she might end herself ,we tried several ways of compromising as the gurls character could be questioned. Can a persons promotion depend on how royal the wedding is gonna be ?? can there be a law where people just cant walkout without proper justification..he will spoil many gurls may the next gurl will give up physically and then he will change his mind for silly reasons.. I need justice they can do this to many

I regret this does not give rise to any cause of action under criminal jurisprudence.
However for causing harm to your social reputation you can file civil suit for damages.

Madam,
Please treat this as a good riddance of a worthless person. Unfortunately the Law will not come to your aid in the circumstances.
I may write that trying to get any help from the Law may put you in unnecessary monetary difficulties, and may not help your purpose.
Regards,
Kishor Mehta
