They were all a State Supreme Court judge needed to let her keep the
four-prong diamond engagement ring, valued at $53,000, even though her
ex-fiance wanted it back.
While the groom normally has
the legal right to take the ring back, evidently, it’s exceedingly poor
form on his part, if he broke off the engagement due to no wrongdoing on
her part.
The entire point of the tradition
of the engagement ring is to be a surety either for
eventual marriage or to compensate the betrothed for her wasted time in
being engaged to the jerk who broke off the engagement.
(As you
say, he doubly proves he’s an asshole [breaking it off by SMS is bad
enough] by demanding it back in these circumstances… if she’d been
cheating on him, say, things would be different.)
I also wonder how much the lawsuit cost him on top of the engagement ring and other jewelry. Might as well have started a bonfire with $100 bills.
Never get married men. Never!
