This query is : Resolved
Since more than past one year I am in relationship with my colleague but I was of a thought that I may not come off in longer run and I might want to spend whole life with her so I thought of moving ahead and got engaged to a girl. my fiance came to know about my past relationship and still she accepted me. Somehow I did not get along with her nicely and could get comfortable with her till date but in meantime I started falling for my colleague and developed feeling for her. Here I seeking advise on the consequences and available remedies if now I get married to my colleague? Though I want that my fiance would be informed before I do any such act.
Thanks in anticipation

inform your finacee that you dont love her . break off the engagement and offer to compensate your faincee for exepnses incurred on engagement . hope you did not have any physical relation ship with your fiancee . if you had she may not forgive you .
marry your colleague after some gap of say 6 months .

Thanks for your prompt responses and guidance Mr. Nanda and Mr. Sethi.
first to let you know, I never had physical relationship with my fiance and I am completely fine with paying the engagement expenses too.
What other remedies are available at my disposal if she or her family still resort to legal action?
Does law prohibits two people who wants to live together and instead make them to stay with someone for whole of their life , to whom they do not love?
Like to know the maximum punishment or penalty for such offences if it is so? and the available remedies in such cases?
Thanks

Breaking off engagement does not give rise to criminal liability though in certain cases it may allow the other party to claim compensation out of expenses met on it and out of social stigma.'In either of the cases there is nothing to worry much as long as you are ready to bear pecuniary damages , if any.
Try to convince your fiance that this relationship is no more possible so she could understand and agree for not for so bitter split.

there is no legal prohibition. Nobody can compell you to marry a girl agaist your will. An engagement is not marriage so there is no legal bar.

Thanks a alot Mr.Barman and Mr.Borbora for your invaluable advise. So I think, I can proceed to marry my colleague, please correct me if I am wrong. Now, can you further guide us to way ahead on this so that we can get married to each other within the boundries of law and keep away from things that might give rise to any non-compliance on any fronts and should not put our relationship/marriage on stake.
Thanks

If you break the engagement, there will be breach of promise to marry and you will be liable to pay compensation not only for expenses but mental stress and stigma you might have caused. Sure, no body can compel you to marry anybody but you cannot enter into enagagements and then change your mind. Please remember, the other person also has her own right not to be fooled around.

Criminal cases for cheating, misrepresentation, sexual harrassment, await such boys who do not care to any morality.
