Massachusetts’s highest court reversed a longstanding ruling by saying an engagement ring must be returned to the buyer if the wedding falls through.

Who gets to keep an engagement ring if a wedding is called off? That’s what the highest court in Massachusetts was asked to decide with a $70,000 ring at the center of the dispute.

The ruling puts a definitive end to a six-decade-old state rule that required judges to try to identify who was to blame for the end of the relationship.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court gave its landmark verdict on who should keep the engagement ring- bride or the groom- after the wedding is called off. The court overturned a six-decade-old state rule that required judges to determine the party at fault for the breakup.
