She adjourned the case until Nov. 4 for trial.

Desperation for marriage makes women do silly things

How are we sure he defrauded her? The guy must have pulled the plug on the relationship and the lady cooked up this "scam" story to carry out some sort of vendetta. All in all, may justice prevail.
