An engagement ring is supposed to cost a certain portion of a man's yearly salary, and thus be a representation of his ablity to support a wife. There was a time when a woman finding out that an engagement ring was not paid for was grounds for divorce, as it constituted fraud. Nowadays, rings are financed out the wazoo. When a couple marries, their debt is combined. Essentially a woman ends up paying for her own damned engagement ring. Why this is tolerated, I just don't understand.
