Civil Law, 2020 Bar — Question XI

ESSAY

A bride declined to appear on her wedding day. Instead, she sent a note to her prospective groom, saying that she needed to be honest to herself by admitting that the institution of marriage was not for her. The bride wrote that she came to this conclusion after contemplating on the tweets of the #LabGuru. She also wrote that to atone for her non-appearance, she would post a glowing recommendation of the prospective groom as a partner on her Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tiktok accounts. The couple had previously dated for almost eight years. The whole time, the prospective groom had been loyal and caring. It was the bride who covered all the wedding expenses. Heartbroken and embarrassed, the prospective groom sued the prospective bride for moral damages, alleging that she had breached her promise to marry him. Will the suit prosper? Explain briefly.
