What is the engagement ring law in Utah?
Any engagement ring law is usually this: If the male breaks the engagement, she may keep the ring. If the female breaks the engagement, she must return the ring. Oh, and in most cases I've heard of, it's not a "law" as in a specific legislative decree. More just the common practice of civil courts, who reason that the ring was given in expectation of marriage, so if she breaks it off, she "owes" it back, but if he changes his mind, that's not her fault. However, as with all legal matters, one should consult with a local attorney, more familiar with the laws of your state, and your specific situation.

In the UK it is usual for the wedding ring to be placed on the finger first, followed by the engagement ring.
