promise to marry

Read a random definition: minus Latium

A quick definition of promise to marry:

A promise is when someone says they will or won't do something, and another person believes them. It's like making a deal. Sometimes a promise is a contract that the law will enforce. But if someone promises something without getting anything in return, it's called a gratuitous promise, and it's usually not legally enforceable. A promise to get married is called a marriage promise, but it's not the same as a promise in consideration of marriage.

A more thorough explanation:

A promise to marry is a commitment made by one person to another that they will get married. It is a type of promise, which is a manifestation of an intention to act or refrain from acting in a specified manner, conveyed in such a way that another is justified in understanding that a commitment has been made.

For example, if John tells Jane that he will marry her, that is a promise to marry. If John later changes his mind and decides not to marry Jane, he may be liable for breach of promise to marry.

Promise to marry is a legal concept that falls under family law. It is also known as a betrothal or engagement to be married. In some cases, a promise to marry may be legally enforceable, depending on the circumstances.
