Some states hold that an engagement ring is a conditional gift that becomes an absolute (effective) gift only on marriage. other states conclude that when an engagement ring is given to the donee, the donee should have full ownership rights in the property.

The question is missing two important elements. The question: "Where do you stand on this issue?" and Why?

The question also invites us to watch a video for further reference. It is a TV News Show that interviews a lawyer, expert in the subject of marriage and divorce.

What the lawyer basically says is that the law states that the give is good only if it meets the condition of marriage. This means that it is the property of the other person meanwhile people are married. In my opinion, the ring should be a symbol of commitment, not as expensive as it has become due to marketing and advertising. If it is a commitment and things do not result, then, the ring loses its true value and should be returned.

you should think about the answers you give and expect the same form your questions.
