The engagement has given a deposit. If there is no wedding deposit, will it be refunded?

Legal analysis: the marriage deposit is generally not refunded after the engagement, but it can only be refunded if there are preconditions, that is, the two parties have not gone through the marriage registration formalities, but they have not lived together, and the payment before marriage has caused the payer's life difficulties.

Legal basis: Article 5 of the Supreme People's Court's Interpretation on the Application of Marriage and Family in the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's court shall support the request of the parties to return the bride price paid according to the custom, if it is found that it belongs to the following circumstances: (1) the parties have not gone through the marriage registration procedures; (2) Both parties have gone through the marriage registration formalities, but they have not lived together; (3) premarital payment, causing difficulties to the payer. The application of items 2 and 3 of the preceding paragraph is conditional on the divorce of both parties.
