Rings around a planet are caused by a collision.

This collision could occur from a moon crashing into a moon, a moon crashing into the planet, an asteroid crashing into a moon or an asteroid crashing into the planet.

The resulting debris from the collision gets trapped in the planetary orbit, and hence, creates a ring system.
