Breach of Marriage Promise - Damages

The nature and form of an action for breach of marriage promise is contractual. Recoverable damages include COMPENSATORY DAMAGES for injury to the feelings and health of the plaintiff as well as to his or her reputation. A plaintiff may also recover damages for any financial loss resulting from the breach, comparable to the recovery in a breach of any other contract action, in addition to compensation for loss of advantages that would have stemmed from a marital relationship with the defendant.
