What is the name of your state? nevada
i posted this without giving much details before. i hope someone will be able to give their advice from a legal, not moral, standpoint with the whole situation presented below.
my friend and her bf (ex-bf to be correct) are both pass their mid 20s. he proposed to her in nevada where she lives. they were in love and she accepted. he lives in the maryland-dc area where the engagement ring was purchased. his parents knew everything about her and had given their blessings. everyone, her family and his, met up to discuss this union. everything went well 'til they returned home, after staying over with relatives who had recently moved to nevada from india. his dad called a few days later saying that he was calling off the whole thing without giving any details. my friend find out the next day that his parents suddenly have and issue with her not being in touch with her culture, for not being able to speak their native language fluently (both sides are east indians) and that her mother being a divorcee (who has since remarried) might reflect badly on his family when his parents already knew about all this from the very start. my friend was obviously devastated. she does not want to return the ring becoz she feels that if she returns the ring, everything goes back to normal like nothing every happened for her bf's side of the family while hers has to deal with the shame in their indian community. i do not understand how this works but it seems this is a huge deal in their community becoz it reflects badly on the girl and she might have problems settling down with another guy.
based on the information above, if she continues being vindictive and keeps the ring, does she have anything to worry about legally? again, legally, not morally.
thank you very much for all your advice.
