mondi_cheeks: but it says the presumption may be rebutted according to s3(2) of the Law Reform(Miscelloneous Provisions) Act 1970. if i understand the legislature's intention...a ring can be returned if provisions to do so have been made. so the bride can keep it only if provisions to return it are not made.

Who talked about not returning the ring if they had such agreement? The main point is, there is no ground 2 sue the person simply because they didn't want 2 marry u any longer. U can only sue if there was a contract made between the two that the ring should be returned if there is no marriage.

Most today's girl will even throw the damn ring in ur face 2 begin with, let alone keep the silly rock.

emilyone: if you can lick,suck and even munch kitty, whats the biggy about washing kitty's covering

I lick, suck and munch kitty and still don't understand why I should wash kitty covering. The person who owns the kitty should care for it and its coverings, not me.

^^^ And what exactly r u looking to own?
Be yourself, and if this make u being bad then so b it, but don't try 2 be who u r not.

caseless: hmmmm....are u sure ur response was directet to the right post? Sori, i cudn't see the connection between ur post and his.....

LWKMD, that's because u didn't read his previous post.

tirex: Thanks evrybody...@rudysmith...we had some issues abt sex..no sex...fine if she aint ready for it...I still love her..cos she's d church type.but we spoke yesterday. Night dat if I'll be making dat much sacrifice den d r/ship's got to be serious...den she came up wif d "I need some time" statement dis afternoon

If the lady needs some time 2 think about u guys being serious, then she is not worth it. Let her go, and move on with ur life. Being serious is what she should dream of, if this is not what she desires then she is not worth the hassle.

DailyNews: I just used it as a reference, you can twist it in other affairs of life but in a good way and see how many people would respond...seriously we don't need to argue it- evil and immorality are the highest selling commodities in our today world, so let no one be surprised that he or she is good and still not getting the best out of life cos our today world isn't for the good but for the bad, evil, heartless, immoral and dangerous like I said earlier.

Don't u think that answering this thread simply made U look like the people that u r quick to look down upon?! such thread r interesting, the ones that people dont want to reply to, r not. It is simple common sense.
People go 2 church 1nce a week, and that's all they need. They c Nairaland as an entertainment avenue, and we all know that church and religion talks r not entertaining.

What kind of garbage is this? Marriage is about being comfortable with ur future life, so if a lady expects u 2 wash her undies, and you aint cool with it, then u guys are not meant for 1 another. Washing her undies as a proof of love is the most childish thing I have heard in a long time. What's next? Jumping from 3rd mainland bridge?

U should ask her why and listen carefully to what she is going 2 answer. Try 2 understand or solve her worries, then if u can't solve them, then let her take whatever time she needs 2 get better.

YES it should always b ladies first, and don't forget that when the next armed robbers board the bus you r traveling in demand for ur belongings.

DailyNews: This present world is not for the good my dear bro...it's for the evil, the bad, the wicked, the immoral, the heartless...they inherit this present world we live in...so be good for being good sake and not for people and the world to appreciate or cherish you cos they won't!

If you doubt this, just check the kind of news and things that sell fast in the world today, they must be related to sexual immorality or insane acts...good news hardly sell and people hardly cherish it.


Try this: post a topic that President Obama just had sex with Beyonce- picture revealed, and see how many people would rush in to view and comment, but post this: How to become a true practicing Christian and see how many people will respond...this will tell you that the world is for the bad and immoral and not for the good, thats why you see actresses and actors who go unclad and do insane things on movie rocking and growing faster than those who act decently.

Shouldn't it simply mean that people dont give a hoot about Religion and how to be a good christian?

mondi_cheeks: point of correction an engagement is an AGREEMENT entered into by 2 people to conclude a civil marriage or partnership within reasonable time. it can be CONTRACTED orally or verbally. but the payments would not have been made if there was not reasonable belief that a marriage would be entered into on a determinable future date...

Point of correction my dear, here in the UK at least, engagement to marry is not enforceable by law, so anyone can go on their merry way, and since the engagement ring was a gift it could also be kept by the bride, if she wanted to.

As stated by this article:
The gift of an engagement ring shall be presumed to be an absolute gift; this presumption may be rebutted by proving that the ring was given on the condition, express or implied, that it should be returned if the marriage did not take place for any reason.

Although it seems unfair, this means that unless there was an agreement to return the engagement ring if the wedding is cancelled -- which a court could imply if the ring is a family heirloom -- a cheating fiancé/fiancée is under no obligation to return the ring.

mondi_cheeks: when u sue someone during divorce proceedings its usually because the person being sued caused an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, not because they dont love other spouse anymore. when you sue for breach of promise, u are suing for someone not fulfilling an obligation which as a result caused u to suffer losses (not for someone not loving u anymore), hence i made an emphasise that u made contributions believing that a marriage wld be entered to

Is it now an obligation to marry someone? Isn't love a main reason 2 marry Or do u expect people 2 keep marriage proceedings even if they don't love their partner any longer? Let us all remember that no one was forced into making these payments, nor did they enter any contract to do so.
Nothing was lost since the bride didnt gain anything from it all, or did she? What's next? Sue a girl for breaking up with you? LWKMD!

^^^ What u wrote is like saying that because someone wants to divorce u, they should be sued for not loving u forever as they say they would during marriage proceedings. the guy or girl don't love u, u leave. abi what more do u need?

Sorry poster but there is no such thing as an US "INTERNATIONAL" passport.

Not the wisest thing to do but yes it could work and lead to marriage.

^^^Pay for her medical fees while he cannot even afford 2 feed himself? from which movie did u dream this lines LWKMD.

Re_MindAfrica: who did they steal from and why havent they be arrested?

They r stealing everyday from poor lost desperate people who believe that these thieves will make miracles happen, while defrauding them of the very little they have. They haven't been arrested because they r scam artist, very good at it, and nobody is suing their thieving bottom.

None of these thieves can perform miracles, none of these thieves have powers, none of these thieves have been appointed by anyone but themselves. religion and churches r just the biggest fraud in the history of mankind.

5ft tall, is he a dwarf or teenager?

eliznkiru: there is dis guy i was going out with for so many year and something happen early dis year he told me that he is getting marry i was thinking is a joke, the worse is that everybody in our house like this man but till now i have not told them that the guy is marryed. sometime last week my father ask of him. the big problem is he still want to keep me as his girl friend and he know that am dating someone else and he is giving me opinion to chose between him and that guy that i should chose the guy and let him go or chose him and let the guy go cos he say that my new guy has no good plan for me.i think i still like both of them please i dont no what to do.

please advice and not insult

Insults is what's needed here. You said the man was married but your poor state of mind still think it's ok to date this guy. I wonder what you would tell your father?

You can call them whatever you desire but a thief will remain a thief, because the one above sees all.

Pray for her and tell her that you cannot help her, while asking her family and friends for help. She knows your situation and she will understand, no doubt!

People change, peer pressure etc

^^^ Why sue a person because they fell out of love with you? In life, you win some and you lose some. Both are equally to blame for what happened, the groom for thinking that she was the one when she wasn't, the bride for thinking that he was the one when he wasn't.

Messi is a great player, but he will never b considered the greatest until he wins the world cup with Argentina. Until that day, he is just another great player like many have come and gone.

I would simply try to get as much money back as possible, from the wedding preparation,rings etc then move on. It will be easier to forget about her before marriage, than after.

Many people do that and even buy the tombstone etc, just to make sure that their children won't have the burden of going through all the funeral wahala. We all know how difficult funerals can be, and this is just a way to alleviate the grief-striken family members.

When you see how much he has to pay to his ex wife, you understand why this poor soul is late in his tax repayment.
