wedding called off, legal implications

Our Lrnd frnd Mr Palnitkar already answered 

This is was reply from an expert

"They can file suit for damages and may be a case of cheating depending upon other facts. If you have not taken any dowry, you need not bother even if they file a false case. Because you will also have witnesses to say that you have not taken dowry. If you apprehend any criminal action, you have to apply for anticipatory bail. "

VIPRA Respone as below

There was no disucssion about moneydowry between families.

as per our religious customary, engagement expenses shall be borne by bride side. Since Engagement has taken place in my home town, tamil nadu, we have spend everything including their hotel bills, but at the end girl father has given a cheque to my father for that expenses, it was less than 50k....this is only engagment expenses not dowry....but now if they want, they can project this as dowry..

with the above evidance whether they can log compliant in police station to attrest my family. whether its possible. since i am in abroad i am worried. their engagement expenses are nothing, i can return it. but i dont want my parents to struggle because of this

Girl side is from andra pradesh and we are from tamilnadu. For any legal action they can take from andrapradesh or they need to do from tamil nadu.

With a false complaint in police station stating above reasons, whether police can attrest my family. if so, what measures i need to take, please help

Dear Vipra,

Firstly You specify what the (not comfortable) reason refuse to her.

In my view amicably settlement is good way to solve this problem. Otherwise they have to chance to file a complaint against you and your parents. They have right to take legal action from Tamilunadu and Andrapradesh also

Commonly they can not do this because they dont want play with their daughter life.

You also dont do this again

Reason for not feeling comfortable! A person can feel uncomfortable even without any reason. It is a matter to right of any individual to feel comfortable on not feel comfortable.

We go to a place and may not feel comfortable. It can happen even if thousands of persons are feeling comfortable there. We feel comfotable with some persons, and make friends. We dont feel comfortable with some persons and avoid them. There may not be any reason for feeling comfortable or otherwise.

If he is not feeling comfortable, even without any reason he has a right to call off marriage. Off course, false cases can be filed against him. It could have been filed even if he felt uncomfortable after marriage.

Never fear false cases. They can only harass you, and in the process they will themselve be harassed. If they file case of cheating or anything against you, you too file cases. Tit for tat. That is justice.

the reason for rejection is..she has very high short temper; moody, jeolous, adament & impatient.....not a likable personsality for me & it will not suit my family also

Rajesh Kumarji, has well said. If the couple are not compitable why should any one forced them to get married? Prevention is better than cure.

Dear Rajesh Sir,

I Agree with you.

We are  living in traditional and rural culture and customs. Engagement is like a  marriage in hindus. Hindu marriages are not a contracts so there is no damage from cancelling of marriages by one from the reason of uncomfortable.

perticularly cancelling marriage is not an offence unde IPC.

In such cases, just i want to find out that any legal remeady he has through his feeling uncomfortable like  any other affairs, relationship with others.  Thease reason are comfortable to contesting by him.

We doing something for our comfortable life that create an any uncomfortable harm to the others accepting it? prevention may be create full life damage (IPC 306)  for others is acceptable?

Dear Sanjeev

I didnt get you, what u wanted to say...

however, I just realized,why our ancestor gave some time frame between engagement and marriage; it is to understand each other better and to make sure that couples can live together for long with love and respect to eachother. If couples find difficult to move, then its wise to callof marriage. No point in thinking what relatives will think or talk.

Life is one, i prefer to live comfortably and with out regrets, so calling marriageof is no sin. 

Lesson learnt is, i should have communicated well before engagement 

Dear Vipra,

I understinding  what you have feelings, so you have much time. In my legal view you have options as follows

1. You should talk  with her and her family and they will be agree and convince for cancellation of marriage, because it is also her future life question and  amicably settelement is good solution  better then other ways.

2. If they will make false complaint against you and your  family, You have to get anticipatary bail and then you shall contest the case.

3     You can also have the right to file a complaint in jurisdictional police station against them for mentally harrasing and motivating for unwanted marriage after the cancellation of marriage. Choice is yours

sanjeev desai

so conculsively amicable settlement is the best way to put an end to the relationship.

otherwise Mr. Desai has enumerated enough legal remedies for u.

keep one thing in mind that pursuance of legal action will be a disturbance to them as well.

Dear desai

Thanks for your advice. I am working abroad (not in india);

Whether i should ask my parents to take anticipatory bail to protect themselves

Why i am worried is, girl side are very rich poeples than us. I convinced her parents by sending mail, that we both will not be comfortable with each other after marriage. he didnt say anything to that 

Dears,

Now my marriage is called off, from both the sides. Now girls father is asking me to bear the engagement expenses fully. Should i repay the full amount.

Reason for rejecting the girl was: she has slight psychic behaviour. I have not told this to girls father. Should i say this to keep him quiet.

Please advice how to handle girls father. As we have also spend money for engagement

I have gone through all the comments. Initially Vipra did not say anything about payment of money or expenses etc. Hence, a clear reply was not possible. But I had generally stated what could be the implications. Mr. Desai has given elaborate reply. What Mr. Prabhakar says can not be ignored. It is always better that you should repay the expenses incurred by the father of the girl. The whole issue relating to marriage becomes complex if it is broken. While the boys can get married easily to another girl, it is difficult for the girl to find another boy. One can't ignore this fact.

Mr. Prabhakar and Mr.Palnitkar.

Thanks for comments. Why dont you think me, as your brother and analyse the problem, agreed money is not an issue i can repay it. Even after 2 months, she didnt started liking me. Whenever i ask her, whether she likes me or not; she replied "she will try to start liking me & till now she has not". Her communication was non-responsive and arrogant, egoist. During the countership, she didnt tried to contact me. After engagment she has not even given missed calls or not even one phone call or even one mail. I have taken enough efforts to contact and communicated with her, from her side its ZERO.

She is very very rich than me; if money is my motive i could have married her. Money is not my motive, i need a lovable person as a partner.

I have not made any sin; i know the indian culture, i have read all great epics/puranas/vedas/history. No one can say, that i made mistake. 

I have given enough opportunity to her, i have failed. Why should i marry a physic women; if i have a opportunity to break.

Stitch in time will save nine. If you see from a girl's father side, then you will say what i have done is sin. But if you think from my side, i have saved my parents getting attacked from that evil girl

Now please say, what i did is correct or not????..
