    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.

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