Legally if a woman cancels a wedding does she have to return the ring?

[Anonymous]

It's generally considered a "gift" but I think ethically, if the bride is the one who calls off the wedding (and not due to deliberate misconduct on part of the groom like cheating or something) then the decent thing to do would be to return the ring.

Judge Judy called it a conditional gift. Return!

Judge Judy is a judge in one state.

Why would anyone want to keep it if the wedding is called off? The ethical thing to do is return it.

Not even a judge, an arbitrator.

If you/your family paid a lot of non-refundable deposits for the wedding, selling the ring can help you recoup that.

Who wants an engagement ring from a broken engagement?? Women: Return it. Men: If she won't return it, just say fck it, thank god I am not engaged to that crazy any longer.

Unless it’s the size of one of the 10 engagement rings Jennifer Lopez got then give it back ffs.

Gift is only if given on your bday or Christmas. Maybe Valentine’s Day too.

No
Gift is a gift that can be given at any time

This is why I would support not returning the ring.

If you are the one calling it off, then I think that should be on you. Unless something like infidelity.

This sounds fair to me. If the groom breaks it off (without the bride's betrayal) or betrays the bride, then the ring could be used to pay for expenses incurred. If the bride just changes her mind, then she/her family should pay for the expenses incurred and return the ring.

OP if one is decent they return the ring.

If you're a bottom dweller then well your actions speak loudly to others.

Losing deposits is cheaper than divorce so the man also benefits from the woman calling off the wedding whatever the reason.
