It really depends on the circumstances behind the engagement, if the item is given during a holiday or as birthday gift then it might be assumed that it was a gift. However, if the engagement ring is not given as a gift the ring should be returned. The purpose of an engagement ring is to prove a man's commitment to a woman, if the engagement is broken off then the ring should most definitely be returned.

∙ 13y agoI'm not sure exactly what you mean by "after marriage". Normally the engagement ring is the one with the diamond, and it continues to be worn... along with the wedding band... while the couple is married.
What happens to it in a divorce generally is that it's treated as an asset and its disposition, like that of other assets, is specified in the divorce decree.
Also, if the marriage is called off, who gets the ring depends on who decided to end the relationship. If the Man breaks it off, or does something (like say, cheating) that causes the woman to leave him with just cause, it is generally considered that she gets to keep it, as it was a "gift." However, if she breaks it off without just cause, or does something like cheating that could get the man to leave her, it is good form to return the ring. However, not all women do that because not all women are what we would think of as decent human beings.

No, once a woman is given an engagement ring it is hers to keep, but many women would prefer to give the ring back as they are no longer engaged. Also, even if the man gets the engagement ring back it would be crass to give it to another woman should he become engaged again. If the engagement ring was a family heirloom then it would be kind of her to return the ring.
