Who says engagement can't be held to the same or similar standards? Not this judge. Often the same investments are made. Example: quitting very well paying job, moving cross country with the verbal promise that you will be taken care of after having been taken care of. Sounds close to, if not an actual, breach of contract to me. What if she had also spent a ton of money on the wedding?

Ima confused. Do woman want equality or not?
Will you marry me? Chaaaching!!! goodbye stressful, full time, high paying job. Waaaaa! he bailed on me!!
I would hope had the roles been reversed, the same ruling would have been made. I see men get alimony.

I know. I was just saying it's the same argument as a marriage "contract". A "contract" was made and broken. I agree that it does sorta illegitimize the concept of engagement, but I don't think the ruling was wrong.

Who was that runaway chick? the one with the googly eyes.... she never had to compensate her husband for standing him up.
.. but did he even try? I will admit that this will set a very disturbing precedent. I mean what will the statute say, 1 week before the wedding? 2? a month?

Still, his actions showed that he was going to take care of her. He probably made that verbal promise, too. It's the same with marriages. If the man tells the women he'll take care of her and they divorce, he might be stuck with long, short, or lump sum alimony. Same for women. I see it every day.

Well, it's not exactly THAT simple.
"She found a new job, taking a pay cut. Her salary went from $81,000 a year, plus a 15 percent bonus, to $31,000 a year." She made that decision based on a verbal contract.

Women are people too, .
We are?!?!?
and most do not like to be regarded as potential pleasure use
I can't speak for most women.. but I don't mind being objectified from time to time.

specifically being made to listen to graphic accounts of whatever country that was going through horrific persecution.
(or any other horrors you might remember).
