Question
In the betrothal of a woman, is there a law that the betrothal ring must belong to the groom, and for this, there must be an intention from the father to give it as a gift to the son, and from the groom, an intention to acquire it for himself? Is it not enough that the father allowed him to give it to the bride, as otherwise, it remains the father's property monetarily, and there must be an intention to acquire it for himself, and is this essential?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The ring must belong to the groom. The right to use the ring is not sufficient.
