Woman Breaks Engagement: Should She Give The Ring Back?

<p>Any court would rule that the ring be returned. It was a gift…with a contract of sorts. The engagement ring was given on the condition and expectation of marriage. She broke it off, she broke the condition and expectation. Even if it was the guy who broke it off, the ring was a “regular” gift but one based on an expected return (in this case, marriage), and he would still get the ring back. She’s coming off not only as selfish and ignorant, but cruel, someone who cares more about money and value than social relationships.</p>
