Betrothal


Betrothal
[font=Arial]


is a sagai . marriages are preceded by sagai or betrothal .

according to manu girl is promised in marriage to 1 man ,.

father had the right to annul a betrothal to one suitor if a

better suitor presents himself.

under the modern hindu law contract to marriage cannot be specifically

enforced but an action for damages is available.

betrothal of unborn child is void.

a marriage performed in contravention of betrothal aggrement is a valid marriage

Can any person insist that the marriage should be performed in case the bride or bridegroom refuses to marry the other party after betrothal.
