Ontario man loses lawsuit against 'sugar baby' who wouldn't be his real girlfriend. The heart may want what the heart wants, but nobody is entitled to be in a relationship with the object of their affection β no matter how much money they spend.
This much was decided by an Ontario Superior Court judge after hearing the case of Azmat Ramal-Shah, who'd filed a lawsuit against a year-old woman and her parents seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages "as a result of being lied to. Sugar dating is also called sugaring, which is a transactional dating practice typically involving an elder wealthier person and a younger person who needs financial assistance.
It was because of this how they met, as well as the fact that Ramal-Shah commenced legal proceedings more than two years after claiming to have been wronged, that the case was dismissed The background section of the ruling details how the woman and Ramal-Shah first met online in while the former was attending university in Ottawa.
Ramal-Shah, on the other hand, "understood that [she] was his girlfriend and stated that he was in love with her. He threatened to ruin her reputation and would call her harsh names such as 'whore'," reads the ruling. Despite being asked to stop contacting the woman, Ramal-Shah is said to have escalated his behaviour by contacting her family members, friends, colleagues and new boyfriend. He reportedly continued to try and send the university student more money, but she did not accept it.
After being harassed by Ramal-Shah on Facebook and by email, the young woman's parents contacted police to no avail. As it turns out, their lawyer was viewed much more favourable by Justice Smith than the Ramal-Shah was when the case was heard. Not only did the judge strike down any claims that the woman's parents had caused the "sugar daddy" harm, he lamented that Ramal-Shah's initial paragraph statement of claim had "the hallmarks of a vexatious proceeding, which is an abuse of process.
