Lawsuit For Compensation Due To The Termination Of The Engagement

If the engagement is broken through the fault of one party, the other party will be in a certain amount of trouble both financially and spiritually. Perhaps he will even have experienced a spiritual collapse that he will not forget for the rest of his life. For this reason, the Civil Code has granted the parties the right to file a lawsuit for material and moral damages as a result of the breakdown of the engagement. He cannot be forced to marry by engagement, there is no such thing as an engagement will necessarily end in marriage. The parties can terminate the engagement at any time.

If the engagement does not end in marriage, there is no right to file a claim for compensation for the breakdown of the engagement. However, if one of the fiancees ends the engagement for an unfair reason, the person who has been harmed will have the right to ask for financial or moral compensation from the person who ended the engagement for an unfair reason. The right to file a claim for compensation will arise only in the event that the engagement was broken for no justifiable reason or was broken due to the fault of one party.
