Engagement Ring -- Pledge or Gift
Greetings:
On 1/23/2000 my girl friend said "yes," to be married, and accepted an enagement ring.
In the coming months we set a wedding date in August of this year.
Recently, she ended the engagement.
I'm asking that the engagement ring be returned. She is stating it is a gift.
My understanding is that an enagement ring is a pledge to marry some one; and that it should be returned if that pledge is broken or otherwise made null and void.
What is the legal answer in the state of Pennsylvania?
Thank you.
