- When a man gives an engagement ring to the one he loves at that time and they split up the woman in question does not have to give the ring back as it was a gift to her. However, if the ring is a family heirloom it would be nice of her to give the ring back.
Actually this is based off of your state's laws and sometimes, if it goes to court, the judge's verdict. In many states, the engagement ring is used as a symbol of two people entering into a contract to get married. If they do not follow through with the contract (no marriage) then the ring must be returned to the person that bought it. The ring does not belong to the woman until she is married. It is not a "gift." It is a symbol of a contract.
Conclusion : Yes You should give engagement rings.

∙ 14y agoNot sure if it's the law but it seems to be that if the woman breaks off the engagement then she should return the ring, especially if it was her fiance's family heirloom. On the other hand, if HE breaks off the engagement then the woman keeps the ring.
