Betrothal ceremony, as a traditional folk marriage custom in China, has a long history and has been continued up to now. Especially in some remote rural areas in China, the economic development is relatively backward, and the occurrence of betrothal disputes is more common. In this case, China has only issued the interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the application of the marriage law of the people's Republic of China (II), which provides a legal basis for the settlement of the problem of betrothal gifts return. However, due to the provisions of the judicial interpretation is too general, resulting in a variety of disputes. Therefore, the author makes a brief analysis from the overview, legal attributes and legal problems in practice, and puts forward suggestions on improving the legal regulation of betrothal gifts return.
