Works out or not, it was a gift and shd not be returned.
That ought to be for her to keep, sell and use the money to clean your heart of the Nigro

Well first, I think that it depends on the break up. BUT its a symbolic gift, its not just any kind of gift and I think that it should be thrown away or returned.

naijatoday:

if it is a cheap ring, I will encourage her to give it back. If it is expensive, the girl should sell it and keep the money.

hehehe---- and what if the guy wants the ring back ? or borrowed money to buy the ring ?

Symbolic or not, gift is a gift and shd not be returned

If the guy asked for it, tell him that your a$$ dont chop am.
If he borrowed money to buy the ring, too bad for him, BTW, the money he will get back will not be same value when he bought it anyways, and that will teach him to leave within his means

OK, fhemmmy

the man gives the ring to the woman to cement their engagement, the engagement is broken by the woman, why on earth will she keep the ring? the guy got to have the ring back. the lady keeping is like saying yes, i am interested. give it back and it is over.

u gave the ring?
u promised what brought about the ring?
so if the man is the answer, must he have to get anoda ring for someone else he wishes to marry?

the man

i fink d gyal shd giv it bak 2 d guy
this ring is no ordinary ring,it was
supposed 2 a sign of 2gedaness
d gyal sayin yes i will marry u so
if they r no more 2geda y keep it?

moreover y wud a gyal want 2 keep
remindin hersef of a luv dat neva wrkd
by lukin at d ring.
giv him d ring n free yasef

2 my own knwledge & understanding,the lady should return the ring.or if she tinks she cn stl superglue the broken pot let her keep it

From he eyes of the law an engagement rinig is a gift to the woman, and the rules guiding gifts under the Nigerian Law of Contract, will not frown at it if the woman keeps her gift or otherwise part with it as she deem fit once the engagenment is called off.
However if there was a pre-nuptial agreement that spelt out how things will be shared after the engagement is over , then that is the one the law will honour.



but that na oyinbo, why she go kiip the ring wen she go go dey follow another man if no be thief aka BARAWO, i bet any lady would throw back a ring made with copper
anyway if u be lady and u wan keep ur engagement after dust don settle call i be lawyer trouble na my work 08026144703

the woman should return the ring, or better still throw it away, but keeping is a no no no !!!

I GUESS THE ANSWER IS:

"IF A SPOUSE DIES, WHO KEEPS THE RING? DOES WIDOW(ER) STILL KEEP THE RING?"

It is not a gift but a symbol of commitment.So if the lady is not ready for commitment again,she returns the ring without been asked.


@ Fhemmmy
Whn u had already known she shld not return it why did u start the topic.SHe shld return it.I think youare supporting her to keep the ring cos it is expensive if not u wuld have advised her to thrown it away.
Mind you the ring does not belong to her but to the guy's right woman.She was just fortunate to use for the period of the dating/courtship.

It started with a question btw me and someone else, and i think let us throw it to the house.
I am shocked that people think the woman shd give the ring back.
It is a gift and shd be kept by the woman

Fhemmy are you male or female ?

ogbono feli feli
that depends
if the ring is expensive and will cost much, i keep it and it goes to the black market direct
but it also depends on how we broke up if he his mister niceee that i care about so much i might do him a favour and let him have the ring

A story with a bad ending aint good.

once they break up the lady shld return the engagement ring

the woman should keep it esp if the guy caused the problem and pawn it . i wouldn't like a guy to give me his ex engagement ring.

posakosa:

I am male oh, at least the last time i checked when i went to pee in da washroom.

*Hauwa*:

Agreed.

tolly4real:

SeanT21:

The one who bought it,can pawn it.

I feel u jare.

Fhemmmy:

Why shd she give a gift back?

It's not a gift
It's more of a bond that holds the both of them.

femmy dnt gt scared wz jus pulin ya legs

yme u soooooo hit d hammer on d head,

i fink d ring shud b sold n d money shud b split, esp if it was expensive
if nt d guys nxt wifey cn kip it,

mama-gee:

I totally disagree.
It is a gift to seal the bond, so it is still a gift

The woman shd keep the ring, she could pawn it and use the money to have fun
