Who owns the an airline ticket purchased in contemplation of marriage?
Question Details:
My ex and I had planned a honeymoon and it was payed for before the wedding. The trip was payed for by her parents and she paid them back before the wedding. My name is on one of the tickets. The airline would require me to sign and notarize a paper saying I forgo my rights to the ticket to change it to another passenger. I view the trip as a gift and have heard it is considered a gift like the wedding ring or jewelery. Who has legal rights to the ticket?

The trip is a contingent gift with the contingency being the contemplated marriage. As a result, if there was no marriage, there is no completed gift. A court would likely require the ticket returned or that the family be compensated for its value.
