Legal Literacy - Hello to those of you who enjoy making sweet promises as high as the sky, promising marriage, but in the end just giving false hope or ghosting without feeling guilty. My advice is to think again before your target is a Law Student.

Why? Because in our hands, every I Love You accompanied by a promise of marriage is not just a romantic sweet talk under the cafe lights. In the eyes of the law, that promise can transform into a real claim for damages on the court floor. Don't get me wrong, we are not talking about revenge because of a broken heart, we are talking about Losses. In this day and age, is it still the time to be upset and cry in the corner until your eyes are swollen because you were left when you were in love? Is it still the time to vent in stories while listening to sad songs because the wedding preparations are ruined? Get rid of that victim mentality! In 2026, those tears are expensive if you know the article.

Every second of time you waste, every rupiah you spend on preparation, to every piece of self-esteem that is destroyed in front of your extended family, everything has a compensation calculation. We law students are not only taught to love with our hearts, but also to protect our honor with logic. Remember, feelings may change, but material and immaterial losses due to your lies are facts that cannot be erased by the word sorry!
