What are the regulations for dissolving an engagement?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There are no specific rules for breaking off an engagement other than the general rules of good conduct, such as the suitor not disclosing the shortcomings of the fiancée except as advice to someone who consults him. The engagement is merely a promise of marriage, not a binding contract, and either party may break it off whenever they wish without any consequences or entitlements arising therefrom.
