maybe in your state...but not in mine
legally she gets to keep it...regardless .... judge judy is a television personality not the law i know of a girl that has four engagement rings.....she was never married That's not true. If she breaks it off legally the ring is not hers to keep. The ring was given in contempation of marriage. If the man calls it off he can not legally expect to get the ring back even if it was a family heirloom. Can you imagine women who go around and professionally get engaged for a living? I could if what you say is the law. |

my beleif is that the engagement ring comes with a promise to marry someday... if that never happens then the ring goes back to the guy.... cause you didnt follow through with your promise no matter why you didnt.... now if he breaks it off and doesnt want the ring back then that is ok to keep it ... but the woman should always try to give it back if she breaks it off.... wth am i talking about?
think ill go get engaged to 10 guys and keep all the rings 
NOT!

I could if what you say is the law. Thanks for posting surprisingly the laws do differ. I'm glad in California although I would never ask for an engagement ring back. Georgia, right? "Under Georgia law, regardless of who calls off the engagement you get the ring back. When you give the ring to your bride to be you are making a conditional gift. Now, with a regular gift legal interest vests in the object/property/whatever when it is given from one party to another. With the engagement ring we don't have a regular gift, but rather a conditional gift. The ownership interest in a conditional gift doesn't vest until a certain condition is met. Here, the condition to be met is a marriage ceremony. If the marriage ceremony does not occur, the gift fails, and interest/ownership of the ring remains with the man..." |

I called mine off and could not even have imagined keeping it.
 If he had called it off...why the devil would I WANT to keep it? 
I don't see an engagement ring as a gift to me...it's a symbol of OUR engagement.

What if the ring had been specially made with the initials of the couple entwined in a cladah and they broke it off, the girl gives the ring back, would the man then have to search for a woman with the same initials as his previous girlfriend/fiancee? Just a though ..........

I've been around some silly 18 and 19 yr old girls who have gotten these 10 dollar cracker jack box engagement rings from this dorks, made no plans to get married, bought no supplies and that symbolizes a "contention"??? And after 2 or 3 yrs when she grows up and realizes she really doesnt want to get married she has to give the ring back, depending on the state. All around marriage is a chore. LOL |

The ring is not actually a gift. Its a symbol of the relationship. You don't get it if you say no when they propose. If you keep the ring what is that saying about you as a person?

No, but usually he can return the ring. If nothing else, the stones can be reset in another ring. The band could even be melted down and reforged. |

That is strange to me for it not to be considered a gift. I've known married people that have no ring. And I have been in relationships that need no ring to symbolize that. Then I know of 2 girls that get rings every year they say to promise the guy will marry them, but they guy just says its what SHE wanted. Just seems like an object, a gift |

I called off my engagement several years ago, and I wish he would have had the nerve to ask for it back, all the hell he put me through, no way in hell I would have given it back to him, and if that makes me seem like a bad person for keeping it, well sorry you feel that way. I wasnt walking away from hell without anything (materialistic) to show for it. I gave that man the best years of HIS LIFE, and he cheated on me with a 17 years old GIRL that worked at a gas station because she gave head and I didnt... I kept the damn ring, and still got it, just wear it on a different finger now.....
 Oh by the way, Thanks Q wherever you are, I get the most compliments on MY ring!!!
Sorry to vent...... Just brought up old thoughts. |

Good point, yes they should, but some women that wouldnt matter to them either way. |
