fine for promises not kept

A man who didnt keep his promise to marry his girlfriend was ordered by the court to pay $70,000/- to his girlfriend when his girlfriend then sued him in court. The man aged 41 years old heard the judgement delivered to him yesterday. Now when lovers are in courtship do not promise or agree to get married unless one is very sure of tying the knot. Normally something has to be given to conceive the contract. Normally it is sleeping and having sex with your lover or staying together in a house or flat or room or doing something like a normal husband and wife thing. A promise or services given to bind the agreement................on two persons agreeing to fulfil that obligation to its final conclusion. When that fails, the aggrieved party has a chance to get compensation in court. Most of the times parties involved do not go to court because they want to keep their dignity intact. It can be a social outcast in others perception especially to the women.
