Review Question A: Abuse of Rights - Breach of Promise of Marriage

Mark and Anna have been in a romantic relationship for several years. During their relationship, Mark repeatedly promised Anna that they would get married and start a family together. Relying on Mark's promises, Anna made significant life decisions, such as rejecting job offers in other cities and investing her savings into their shared future.

However, as time went on, Mark began to have second thoughts about their relationship and decided that he no longer wanted to get married. He informed Anna of his change of heart, leaving her devastated and feeling betrayed.
