It's not necessarily wrong to ask, but be prepared that she will not want to give them back. I was married for 17 years and I sought the divorce. I kept my rings and my anniversary ring because I loved them and they were momentos. Even though my marriage ended in divorce I still cared about my husband. If he has asked for the wedding rings I would have given them back, but there was no way he was getting the anniversary ring, cuz it was the ring I cherished the most.

You cannot ask for the engagement ring back. Legally, the engagement ring is accepted as a promise to marry you. She fulfilled that promise and she did marry you. You cannot ask for a wedding ring back either. It's the same scenario. It's accepted in marriage, which is what she did. You can only ask for these back if she did not uphold her end of the deal, which she did. Especially if you initiated the divorce you cannot ask for it back.
My advice: divorces are tough. Let her keep the engagement ring and wedding ring if she wants too. It's not like you have any need for it, do you? And if you want to sell it for the money, well thats not really honoring what you two did have together, even for a short period of time. Just let her keep the ring and she'll do what she wishes with it. She may need time to adjust to the divorce, and asking for her rings back isn't going to help her or you in any way.
Sorry for your situation.

It's not wrong to ask for an engagement ring back if you're engaged and SHE decides to call it off. However, if you're already in a marriage with her and either of you decide to go your separate ways, then the ring is hers to keep. You can no longer take it back unless she doesn't want it and agrees to give it back to you on her own free will, but it's legally her ring now and if she wants to keep it, it's her right to do so.

Legally, you can generally ask for an engagement ring back if you split before the wedding. If it's a divorce though, the rings are her property to keep.

General rule of thumb is if the wife seeks the divorce then the man can get back the ring. If the husband is seeking divorce the woman can keep the ring. Cheating throws a wrench in the mix. If the husband cheated and the wife seeks a divorce she can still keep the ring.

you won't be able to ask for a birthday modern-day to be back! it is been given as a modern-day. An engagement ring is a few thing altogether distinctive b/c it is not a modern-day plenty because it is a logo of a promise. If 2 human beings are not getting married it is ideal to grant the hoop back on account which you positioned on it to propose an coming near marriage. besides the incontrovertible fact that, in simple terms as you does not ask for a modern-day back out of your mom and father at Christmas, you does not ask for a bday pres back. Get a existence! Oh, and giving stuff back is b/c you are the rightful proprietor. the hoop is now no longer yours. stupid stuff!

If the man breaks the engagment off the woman gets to keep the ring. If the woman breaks, she is suppose to give the ring back. You can always ask. Good luck.

Once married, the rings are hers.
If an engagement is broken, that is different. Then regardless of who breaks off the engagement, the ring must be returned to the man.

The girl should offer to give the ring back no matter what the reason is that you split up.
Then it would be up to the guy to decide if he wanted it back or for her to keep it and do with what she wants.
But that is only if you didn't make it to "I do".
I think that, after marriage, if you split up or divorce it is up to the woman to decide what to do with the engagement ring.

No, it is not wrong, why would she need it? To pawn? for her next Fiancee to give to her? Besides it is what you call a conditional gift, you gave it under the condition that you are to be married, you weren't so you get it back. By law you can use that argument, and get it back. I need a hobby! (I am unsure about the laws if the giver is the one that pursues the split.) It is still right that you get it back, I always gave mine back, lol, now I'm married and this ring is staying and this man is staying!
