Can A Woman Propose With A Wedding Ring In A Leap Year?

Traditionally, as a rule, it is considered right for the man to make a proposal, while women must wait to be asked. The waiting for a man to do the asking made many a woman nervous. Some feared being left on the shelf, no matter what bounty they would bring to the marriage, they still had to wait to be asked. As all rules have exceptions, so does this one. Apparently, there is an old custom that dates back many centuries ago, that in a leap year, on the leap day, which is February 29 a woman can propose to the man of her choice, and if he refused, he could be fined. It goes without saying that many a brave man feared this leap proposal, because he could not refuse.
