A question on marriage legal values.

Should one person sue to pay anything on a marriage, if the other person refuses to marry at the alter?

Please note:
1 the marriage license had already been issued
2 the full expenses had already been paid.
3 there was no marriage contract.
4 most states say without a contract everything is shared.

This was a real case in a small claims court.

What is the reasoning behind the alter refusal?

@Tiredish finally was revealed that the person didn't want to marry anyone at all. Regardless of who.

@DeWayfarer And they just decided this, or to tell the other person?

50% of the bills
100% dick move

@Tiredish it took some pushing even by the judge just to reveal the reason.

I highly doubt the other even knew.

@DeWayfarer Theres another reason, Im sure. Cold feet, cheating, etc....

Oh well, better to call it off now than after the "I do's"

@Tiredish the second defendants argument had to do with they didn't like the tight bond with the same sex sibling.

No cheating was involved or revealed.
