>Canadian judge rules woman can keep $14,300 engagement ring >Guy gets engaged to girl >They have arguments about costs of marriage (girl wants a lavish one, guy wants an affordable one) >He didn't believe his fiancee could afford her half of the wedding cost, and feared he would get stuck paying for the whole bill >He suggested postponing the wedding, she decided to end the relationship >In the most gravity defying mental gymnastics ever spoken by a Judge, he rules: "I find the postponement was an indefinite postponement, sufficient to treat the engagement as over. Ms. Arbuckle may have ended the relationship but Mr. Sherrington ended the engagement," >Somehow it's the guys fault for terminating the wedding, even though he specifically said he just wanted to postpone it. She gets off scot free, even though she's the one that actually called the wedding off.
What kind of a moron buys a $14,300 engagement ring. If you want to shell out money for stupid shit do it with the wedding ring
Aaron Cox
Stupid ruling but I'm not sure why she should have to give the ring back.

>buys a $14,300 engagement ring >apprehensive about paying the entire wedding bill The judge is absolutely based tbqh. Beta supplicants like him deserve to be bilked out of everything they have.

The 3.25 carat diamond ring was gifted on the condition the two would marry. They didn't, so it doesn't belong to her.
Easton Reyes
>on the condition show me the signed contract
Hudson Hughes
Did she buy the ring?
Jordan Jenkins
The Judge didn't argue about whether or not the engagement ring belongs to the woman since it was a gift or not. He understands ring are not typical gifts, rings are contracts. The judge instead is trying to lay blame on who broke the marriage.
The Judge decided that it was the dude who terminated the wedding by postponing it.
He said:
>"I find the postponement was an indefinite postponement, sufficient to treat the engagement as over. Ms. Arbuckle may have ended the relationship but Mr. Sherrington ended the engagement."
Which is fucked up, the guy wanted to wait until they could solve their problems before getting married and then his fiance decided to stop the wedding all together. Yet, the Judge says he terminated it.
Carter Bailey
They weren't married so it should still be his property.
Chase Brooks
>rings are contracts Pardon?
It is the property of the person who makes the purchase, period.
Austin Ramirez
The act of gifting means you hand over ownership.
Hudson King
No it fucking doesn't.
Wyatt Brown
Anglos got cucked yet again. by 2100 they will all be cucked out of existence.
Dylan Collins
So? Don't give her an expensive ring in the first place. What you're arguing for just sounds like "Indian giving"
Matthew Diaz
This looks like a business deal, not a wedding.
Evan Adams
His fault for falling for the vaginal jew
Hunter Parker
It does... in most countries I guess? If you didn't sign papers, you need evidence. If you don't have it, a judge decides.
Hunter Long
Common law was a mistake
Giving judges this much arbitrary power and allowing for their SJW-tier stupidity to become jurisprudence is pretty much just dooming this country.
James Ramirez
Shit like this is why I'm so fucking afraid to ever get married. Especially because I plan on getting into real estate and am terrified of my spouse taking my business away.
