 In the event that a significant incident happens to the engaged man, making it inappropriate for the woman to marry him, the woman has the right to rescind the engagement contract without having to return the engagement gift to him.

If the incident causing an engaged person to rescind the engagement contract is serious misconduct committed by the other engaged person after the engagement, the engaged person committing the serious misconduct must be liable to pay compensation to the engaged person exercising the right to rescind the engagement contract, as if having breached the engagement contract.

An engaged man may, after he has rescinded the engagement contract according to section 1442, claim compensation from another man who had sexual intercourse with his engaged woman when that man knew or should have known that the woman had already been engaged to him.

An engaged man may, without having to rescind the engagement contract, claim compensation from another man who raped or attempted to rape his engaged woman when that man knew or should have known that the woman had already been engaged.

As regards the compensation payable according to this Chapter, the court shall decide it as appropriate for the circumstances.
