mondi_cheeks: if you have a relationship with someone for a few years, you get engaged, you both maintain each other even where there is no obligation to do so.you sell your own property with the intention to buy new property with your fiance/fiancee. some of the money you use it or wedding preparations, you bought the wedding rings, you paid for the honeymoon. a month before the wedding he/she breaks off the engage because he/she fell for someone else...would u sue for breach of promise to marry or would u just let it go without a fight? if so, give grounds u would base it on

mondi_cheeks:
this is where i was saying u made an error...its not if she wanted to...its if conditions to do so were not given!

blink182: Will I get a certificate from ACCA for answering this?

mondi_cheeks: but still the statement u made and what the legislation say are 2 different things

sweetcheecks:

SUE HIM FOR EVERY CENT PLUS DAMAGES!!! IF the law allows it, then there is nothing wrong with it.

D-Explorer:
It's only in western nations people make huge money from things like this. Sueing in that context isn't a Nigerian thing. Just let go, get healing and move on.

Mynd_44:
Well, if you had an option of suing, would you?

D-Explorer:

I won't! I detest revenge but if i wanna be mad i'd set her up, she's doom!!!

Mynd_44:
Well that's you. I would rather have fun with the court case

D-Explorer:

I understand man but i just won't waste my time hitting back at a lady that's gone. The court thing could be to "punish" her but what if you got a turn-tables

mondi_cheeks: point of correction an engagement is an AGREEMENT entered into by 2 people to conclude a civil marriage or partnership within reasonable time. it can be CONTRACTED orally or verbally. but the payments would not have been made if there was not reasonable belief that a marriage would be entered into on a determinable future date...

Mynd_44:
I am on the assumption that I did not cheat, and she just saw her old BF and left.

mej67:

Point correction Mondi (due respect), above is yet a contract. Still an offer to deal. Reason: offer (to marry) and acceptancee =engagement and will only become a contract when the neceessary condition of consideration is fulfilled. In africa, d bride price plus other condiments, in modern world -signing d dotted lines (following delivery of all u both agreed to bring into d union -mortgage, car, bank acct, etc.)

D-Explorer:

We don't always win in court. One thing about cases like that is the "unheard" revelations that accompany it even when it's false yet with evidence(s) and if you dealing with a girl that likes to play-it-dirty, the mud gonna be sinking the supposed victim at the end. Just hope your lawyer is good because you'd wish you never started. But for me, i'd let it slide not for fear but she aint worth my days in court.

Mynd_44:
As I said earlier, I will do it just to have fun, it is not a criminal case, its a civil one and I can decide to drop it at anytime.

D-Explorer:

*thinking aloud* Mynd no one have fun with court cases o

Mynd_44:
When it stops being fun, you know its time to let go.

D-Explorer:

Hahaha, something like out-of-court settlement or "he's no longer interested in the case" She wins

Mynd_44:
As I said earlier, its not about winning, but ruffling some feathers

D-Explorer:

Nah! Ego is in question here, you both gonna be spending on court issue and who opted seem the coward.

BlackBaron: Dragged to court because one refused to marry...?
