Legal Question in Insurance Law in California

Life Insurance fraudulently purchased

Is it legal for a person to purchase life insurance on another person's life when they are engaged to be married in California? After breaking up with my fiance I later discovered he had taken out a policy without my consent or knowledge. What should I do?
