Does he have the right to pawn things that does not belong to him?

Hi friend, i agree with you, he don't have the rights to pawn your things without your permission, in fact he don't take your things without your permission, but you don't care about it and give that rights to him, he took it as advantage and did this thing. Make him to realize his mistake

He should be asking you first. What if the object has sentimental value to you? If he is short in cash, why don't he ask you first if you have something that he can borrow instead of pawning the things in your home. For me it's not right and he should have respected the things you own before taking it away from you. There must be something wrong with his financial status and I suggest that you two talk about it before it gets really bad.

Oh, that's not right. He should ask your permission first. It's not his property so he should ask you first. I'm already married and I want my husband to ask permission from me if ever he wants something. He should not pawn any of our belongings without my knowledge.

you only have the true right to pawn your own possessions. pawning the possessaions of otherts is simply stealing from them in any form. it is not fair or right.

I don't think so, he is only your boyfriend. He is not officially have the right to interfere or obtain your belongings. It is far more acceptable if both of you are married, but still there is a due process of what to do with the assets or investments.

In this day and age, a relationship between a man and a woman means equality. It also means mutual respect. Your boyfriend does not have the right to do anything in regards to you, without your permission. Just because you are partners and no doubt, living in the same home, he still needs to respect you and your possessions, as well as you respecting him. Most men, who respect their wives or girlfriends, won't even open their wife's or girlfriend's purse. I have been married for 26 years and my husband still asks my permission if he needs to get something from my purse. And I don't go through his wallet without his permission or OK. This morning, my cell phone was in my purse and the alarm went off. My husband was nearest to my purse and he let me know (to get my 'OK') that he was going to reach into my purse to turn off the alarm. Love means Mutual Respect and Equality.

I think it's pretty obvious that regardless if you're "together" it doesn't mean that everything is conjugal. Even if you're already married, there should be individuality as well. I think it's common knowledge that we need to respect our partners and with respect it doesn't stop from the person alone but extends to the properties of such a person. If my partner did that to me without asking my permission, I would certainly be angry and would demand that he get the item to that minute. He needs to understand the boundaries of his actions. Even if it's his stuff, he should ask me as well. In the same way, if I need to get rid of something that we both own (or I own) I would ask his permission first, he might have a better idea on how to convert such an asset to cash. That's why we have partners in the first place, because their opinions are valuable to us. Have a great mylot experience ahead!

I think that is clearly wrong. If someone takes your things and sell it. It may as well be stealing it because you have effectively lost your property. What if its something dear to you like a family heirloom that has more emotional attachment and significance to you than the price of the item itself? That would be devastating.

Hello blinjk, I believe that is what i call stealing if that was not ask of your permission. this will lead to some troubling trust issues with your boyfriend. pawning is already beyong stealing some stuff that doesn't belong to him. I mean, what happens if he doesn't bring it back to you? this could cause trouble for the relationship, you should feel disturb at least.

I think that aside from love, both should have respect for each other. Although you have considered yourselves as "ONE", still one should let the other half know about all the things he has in mind. I mean, why would someone just assume that it is okay to pawn something that clearly does not belong to him?

Its not right that a boyfriend pawns anything of his girls without their permission! That is stealing to me... That is how I feel about it anyway.

I think it is not right to do such thing.Even if you are living together, he must consider the personal things you have.I think he know that you will not allow him to pawn that thing that is why he kept it secret but it is still your things and he must respect your decisions on what it is.

I'd slap his butt, that bad boy. It is never okay for me for someone to take my possessions without my permission. I'm even mad at my own mother who took my dress and let other people borrow it without my permission. How hard can it be to ask permission? My mom apologized and always asked for my permission since then, and I never said no to her borrowing ever. All it takes is permission and respect for other people's things. I'd be mad at my bf if he does that. I always make it a point to people that if they want to borrow my things all they need to do is ask. Teach your boyfriend a lesson. Calmly explain to him how it makes you feel and that next time he should ask permission. He should be able to understand if he loves you. I'd be pissed if people who are told that become dramatic, saying 'don't you trust me?' Don't give in to those kind of excuses. Let him know his place.

Hi blinjk, I am sorry to hear that this has happened to you. In my opinion, even if it is my own family who took my things without permission and pawns it, I would be very upset. Much more, if he's just my boyfriend. For me, taking one's things without permission is a form of stealing. That is in my opinion and I am not saying that your partner is a theft. What I am trying to point out is that anyone has the right to get upset if his or her things are pawned without permission.

You are correct a boyfriend or girlfriend has no rights to pawn anything that isn't there at all. It has to be the owner themselves that pawn it other wise it is consider to be stole since they do not have ownership of that item.
