Life is full of interesting stories. My current curiosity is, what would you say one would do when after breaking off a relationship with their fiance, the latter refuses to return the ring?

I'd say leave it. Naija folks share your thoughts.

Go and ask for your ring back na and is she doesnt have it again,collect the money you spent in buying the ring from her full stop

u never watch lord of the ring??... tell her to return it back before evil spirit enter her life. maybe she dey plan to sell am. na pure gold

Ask for your ring back. The only reason she has for holding it is that you were engaged but that arrangement has changed

This is my first time of hearing that after engaging a woman and it happens that things did not work out as planned , the man will go back and collect the engagement ring. What will the man do with the ring ? Give same ring to another woman? This is serious. I guess understanding differs and all men are not the same.

So if I gave a woman a 10,000 dollar ring, I should not collect it back or what are you saying? What does the woman want to use another man's engagement ring for in the first place?

Why are you asking?

Jst Send the Next Girl to collect it from her, then sit down and watch the drama

Ill just go and get the ring back. simple.Since we are not together again..when does not have a need for it anymore..neither does she have the right to hold it. A decent and matured lady would even return it back without you asking.

Btw, before i can give a lady a ring.. i go don |over|sure| ooOO say no her ..gan gan.

@charbless lol, hope u won't be surprised if d only drama dat will ensue is d two ladies hugging each oda, and d first girl telling d latter: "I sincerely wish u safe journey to d land of d dead"

@topic, on no occassion will I hold back dat engagement ring, even without asking for it, he'll definitely get it back.

If she broke it off herself, she must return the ring. It is a sworn duty by the man to do all in his power both legally and through other means to recoup the actual ring itself or something of similar value.

Why would she not return the ring?

Of course, if you called it off then she should be allowed to keep the ring as compensation.

.

Hahahaha Lol; You might be surprised that no drama might occur....

Charbless: Jst Send the Next Girl to collect it from her, then sit down and watch the drama

sanb: @Op; you politely ask for the ring back. The ring was an engagement ring which both of you thought would materialise into marriage. Since that didn’t occur, then the sensible thing (IMHO) for the lady to do is return the ring even without you asking for it back….it’s only logical.

Besides, why would a lady want to hold on to a ring that’ll remind her constantly of her engagement to her ex? Whatever for ehh...

Good statement. What if the ring is valuable (£10,000+) and the lady wants to hold on to it for the financial value? She always pawn it later on once everything dies down. I reckon a court case might be in order if she refuses to return it.

PS: Are you sanboy

.

sanb: If she refuses to give the ring back after asking politely, then the next point of call would be to go to court to retrieve the ring or the value of the ring back from her….

PS: No; I’m not Sanboy25; but sanb…..

My thoughts exactly... and there have been cases like that too. There was this one case where a guy was meant to get married to his fiancee, he had invested close to $30k out of his pocket plus parents maybe an additional $15k. She didnt turn up at the wedding. It turned out her ex had turned up 2 days before and they ran off together. Now the engagement ring was worth $5k and he wanted it back so he could recoup some of his losses. Apparently she had sold it to add to her and her exs escapades. So he sued her in court. He won. He also sued for the losses due to her not turning up and he won some of that too.

Lol I tried to give my ring back to my ex and he said I should keep it. So it's just sitting there in my jewelry box.

How much is it worth? And who called it off?

First question: did she beg u to propose?
No be u give am ring?

She should return the ring only if she was the one who broke the relationship. If not, u beta forget it.
But if she is a nice girl, u can politely ask for the ring sha.

I take it you're not one of these well-sought-after nice girls.

This...is...NAIJA!

People may want to be creative?

People who spend that much can afford to let it go.

Ideally a girl should offer it back (I would). A man can then choose to take it or not. But a man requesting it outright would further reduce any dignity they maintained after the break-up. It seems a tad juvenile.

My dear that's ur opinion. If he broke the engagement then he shouldn't ask for the ring. Shikena!

Mynd_44:

I would not plan to do anything but offer it right back to him (perhaps at some speed toward his facial region ). But the act of a man asking for his ring back... it's unattractive and juvenile imo. If a man values that relationship ring to be worth fighting for then good luck to him.

Oh I agree. Don't get me wrong. I was simply just poking at you.

A gift is a gift is a gift.

Mrs.Chima:
A gift is a gift is a gift.

Its not a gift. Its a seal of agreement. IMO if the agreement be broken then I think it the guy should not even have to ask for it.

Imagine if it were the sought of ring with history. In which case it was passed down generational lines in the family.
