I believe 'in the court of law' the man is supposed to get the ring back.
There are many instances where the woman keeps the ring though. Things happen. But LEGALLY, the ring is supposed to go back to the man.
The only way it would be kept by the woman is if it were given as a gift. Like Christmas or birthday, etc. An engagement is not a gift, but rather a symbol of a commitment to spend the rest of your lives together. If that commitment is broken....the man gets the ring back..

She keeps the rings and does with them what she wants, sell them or keep them for the kids if there are any.
If an engagement is broken, the ring MUST be returned to the man. It was not a gift in the regular sense, but rather a symbol of the promise to get married.

If an engagement is broken, the ring s to be given back.
If getting divorced, then the woman keeps the ring.

If you don't get married the person who bought the ring gets it back. I had a friend who went to court over this issue and the judge told her it was like she broke a contract to marry the guy so she needed to pay the penalty for breaking the contract. I think once you are married the woman can keep the ring.

The woman left because she can't be away from mommy, you really want to say she should keep the ring....two weeks is just a weak woman! Get the ring back, she doesn't deserve it!!!! If the man did something wrong, in this case no, then keep it but if not give it back!

In the case of divorce, each person is entitled to their own "personal property" - including jewlery, clothes, etc.
If you are not yet married, it is up to the girl if she wants to return the ring. If the engagement was called off by the guy, then girl ususally will keep the ring. If the girl ends the engagement, she will most usually return the ring.

I've always kept my ring after the divorce.
Now I don't know in the case of breaking it off before you get married, because I always stupidly go the whole way.
But I never ask for what I've given a guy back...so I'd see the guy as cheap scape if he asked for it back.

as a man I would let them keep it the engagement ring is not the deal. It's like the show deal or no deal get your ring she shouldn't want

The pawn shop down the road usually ends up keeping the ring.
