I was in love with a man for 8 years. He cheated on me and got married. We patched up in 6 months and he promised to leave his wife and marry me. Even after 9 years he has not left her and now he wants to leave me. Can I file a case on my ex-boyfriend who has married another lady?

You cannot file any case against your ex-boyfriend. He did nothing wrong and the friendship between him and you was consensual. As per the question, it does not seem that there was any kind of exploitation on his part. Your ex-boyfriend has not cheated on you because he did not promise you to marry.

Your relationship was not based on the false promise of marriage. Thus, he did not commit any offence. Every person has the right to choose his life partner. It is a fundamental right.

If there was no deception there was no offence. Therefore, you cannot file a case on your ex-boyfriend who has married another lady?
