Massachusetts Court Orders Return of $70,000 Engagement Ring to Ex-Fiancé
TL;DR Summary
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that a woman must return a $70,000 engagement ring to her former fiancé, establishing a new precedent that engagement rings must be returned to the giver if the marriage does not occur, regardless of who is at fault for the breakup. This decision overturns a previous rule requiring judges to determine fault in such cases.
