who has broken the pledge of marriage, if the breach had no justifying cause.
In Spain and Holland, the law permits claims for damages when material injury results from breach of the pledge of marriage, provided the pledge of marriage has been officially published in the press.
In Italy, Portugal, and Mexico, breach of the promise of marriage obliges the breaching party to return the gifts and presents.
In the majority of the other states of the world, the legal provisions governing engagement are nearly the same for both parties... And statistics show that women in both Australia and Britain resort more often to the courts, claiming damages for men's breaking off of engagements...
In Ireland, the law considers that it is the woman who bears the financial and social injuries resulting from breach of the promise of marriage — which entitles her to resort to the courts to obtain damages. In Norway, where engagement has no legal effect whatever, a man may be punished for refusing — without substantial cause — to marry his fiancée after having consummated relations with her.
In the Soviet Union, the law makes no provision for anything called engagement. In Yugoslavia, recourse may be had to the courts with respect to obtaining compensation for the gifts exchanged in anticipation of the expected marriage. And if one of the two parties has practiced fraud upon the other, the public prosecutor may proceed with criminal proceedings at the request of the injured party.
