2 Answers from Attorneys
ring ceremony dosen't have any legal status and parties are not bound for marriage and there is no any legal procedure
they both are free to marry with any one
If u want to quit, write down a Joint Memorandum for cancellation with lawyer. If any huge money transactions took place, keep auditor also along with lawyer for settlement. Auditor is optional
