In the state of Virginia... is an engagement ring to be returned upon the couple not getting married? Very simple question.

Thank you,

First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

Second, did you read the responses in the thread where you originally posted?

Very simple answer -


Virginia is a conditional gift state - the engagement ring is a conditional gift, and if the condition is not met (marriage) the ring is returned without regard to who was at fault.

You must return it

Answer "you must return it" was posted a little while after I posted the law. She's right. In Virginia it goes back.
