Re: Engagement ring
Ah! The joys of being an employer! Connecticut follows the rule that an engagement ring is given on the condition that the marriage takes place. If the woman breaks it off (for no good reason other than she wants out) then she has to give it back. If the fellow breaks it off, then she gets to keep it. The difficulty often comes when one party claims to have a good reason for breaking it off (I found out he's a drinker; she's cheating on me, etc.) Then it's whoever the court believes. Isn't that a wonderful answer?
