Man sued for getting cold feet (twice)

<< < (3/6) > >>

Lines:
She still would have already paid for a lot of things the first time around. What's astounding is that she agreed to marry him a second time around.

snalin:
I agree that the woman was perhaps a bit (verry) stupid, but if a dumb person is victim of a fraud, it's still a fraud.

pwhodges:
It seems to me that they both made stupid choices (in proposing, and in accepting); but I guess they didn't seem so at the time.  I suppose that the jury had more information to make their decision on than we have - the system is well known for getting things right most of the time at least.

StaedlerMars:
From what I gathered from the article, no where did it come across as if the man was trying to get something out of the woman. If you're having second thoughts about marriage it seems perfectly normal to call it off to me, rather than be miserable or have to go through a divorce. I don't seem to be getting where the man went wrong. Sure, maybe he couldn't make up his mind, but I don't think that warrants a 150,000 fine. It's not like they were ever legally bound. I don't get why the jury was actually allowed to be involved. This seems completely ludicrous to me.

Chesire Cat:
An Oral Contract is still a contract.  If you agree to get married, and someone else is carrying the expense... TWICE!  Then I saw fine away.
