 for compensating the injury arising from the appropriate expenses or debts suffered in good faith by the engaged person, his or her father or mother, or the person acting as the father or mother in preparation for the marriage;

for compensating the injury arising from the fact that the engaged person has appropriately administered his or her property or taken other measures relating to his or her occupation or earnings in expectation of the marriage.

In the event that the woman has the right to receive the compensation, the court may rule that the engagement gift which has become subject to her rights constitutes the whole or part of the compensation she is entitled to, or the court may grant the compensation without regard to the engagement gift which has become subject to her rights.

If either of the engaged persons dies prior to the marriage, the other cannot claim compensation. In the event that there is engagement gift, if the dead person is the woman, the gift shall be returned on the part of the woman to the part of the man, but if the dead person is the man, the engagement gift needs not to be returned.

In the event that a significant incident happens to the engaged woman, making it inappropriate for the man to marry her, the man has the right to rescind the engagement contract and the woman shall return the engagement gift to him.
