Answer:
“(a) In general. -- Unless the individual is pregnant, an individual:
(1) has no cause of action for breach of promise to marry; and
(2) may not bring an action for breach of promise to marry regardless of where the cause of action arose.
(b) Corroboration required. -- In an action for damages for breach of promise to marry, a judgment for the plaintiff may not be entered on the uncorroborated testimony of the plaintiff.”
