Legal Advice Please!!!

[senoragina]

Anybody out there with any legal advice?Would be very,very grateful?
My daughter and her Fiance have separated after 5 years.He called off the wedding because he was seeing somebody else.They were buying a house together.Where does my daughter stand legally in all this?We all lost a lot of money,because they were getting married in a foreign country.So a lot of us lost our deposit on the wedding.Can she still sue him for breach of promise?
Any help would be very much appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Breach of promise

Found this if it is of any help.

The Spanish Codego Civil deals only briefly with breach of promise of marriage.

Article 43 provides that an engagement does not constitute a legally binding contract and that no order may be made by the Court requiring a party to perform such an agreement.

Article 44 provides that, where a promise to marry has been made in writing, either by an adult or by a minor with the assistance of the person whose consent to the marriage is required, or where the banns have been published and he (or she) fails to get married “without just cause”, he or she is obliged to compensate the other party for the costs that that party has expended on account of the intended marriage.

A limitation period of one year is provided for in the Article.

Doesn't look very hopeful does it?
