A husband is asking back the engagement ring & wedding band.  Is it a crime for a ran away wife to keep it?

By law the rings were gifts and are hers to do with as she pleases.  She should be having no contact with this man for any reason.  Have her block his emails and if that doesn't work she should get a new email address.

Yes, you have a right to be upset. Your fiance is a mama's boy. Poor baby?\n\nAnd I wonder, how much do they accuse you of stealing? I would consider it beneath my dignity to be accused of stealing anything less than $10000!!!\n\nIf more than that has been lost, he should ask you ( that's some serious cash, but if they are accusing you of stealing $50, they are really cheap. I mean, if I lost 10 grand, I would get my dog x-rayed to make sure he hasn't swallowed it. Let alone asking my fiancee.) .  But even if he does ask you, it should not imply assumed misdeedson your part.\n\nHow did he phrase it? Did he ask if you "SAW" the money? Or did he ask if you "TOOK" it? In any case, if he said his parents accused you of stealing, they really suck. Chances are that they stole it themselves to put the blame on you. Check your bags and luggage carefully, you don't want to be caught with "planted evidence". \n\nI hope,if you guys are marrying, you are going to stay far far away from them.

Generally premarital gifts are considered "conditional promises".  The gift was contingent upon the subsequent marriage. I think the ring donor will recover the gift if the marriage doesn't take place.  However, each state's laws are different, and there may be other circumstances that would allow you to keep the ring. For example, California law says that you may keep the ring if the marriage contract is breached by your fiance, with no fault on your part.  Your best bet is to speak with an attorney. Maybe one who specializes in family law.

Yes, you could get half the expenses back in court.  I don't think you would get all because its kind of a chance you take when you get involved.  You should give the ring back though.  Its the right thing to do because what do you want it for?  Hang on to if for now though until court is over because if you don't get anything from him for some reason you could at least sell it for some money to pay off the expenses.  Contact a lawyer because I've seen on some of those tv shows like Judge Judy and Joe Brown and people have got money back in the same situation.

I don't think it's required, but some do just out of love. But the groom has already bought an engagement ring so if he doesn't buy anything I wouldn't be offended. I'd just chalk it up to him being a man & just not thinking of it.

That's a damn good question. I'm married and ALWAYS wear my ring. I have friends who are married, but don't wear theirs. I've asked and always get some limp dick excuse about not wanting to ruin it or they don't like wearing jewelry (but they wear other rings and bracelets).\n\nDoesn't make sense to me either!

i don't think you can but remember you didn't give them that gift for getting married you gave them that gift for getting engaged which they did. i would wait and see if you get it back but i wouldn't ask for it unless it is a family heirloom and you want to make sure it stays in the family

No she does not. An engagement ring is kind of like a trade or a deposit or something. When the man gives it to a woman, she is to marry him. If they don't marry, she has to give it back.\n\nAn engagement ring isn't a gift. It must be returned. Plus, those things cost an arm and a leg.

Don't worry about it.. if she comes around again tell her to go away! And tell her that if she finds anything else of yours that was left to keep it, if you left it with her then it must not be that important!

It sounds reasonable that you would want to give your rings to your daughter when she is old enough, but there is no reason that you should have to keep wearing the rings. I know that if I was with someone who was still wearing their wedding band from a previous marriage, it would give me the idea that they were still in love with their ex, and that would not make me very happy. Although that's probably not your motivation for wearing them, you have to admit that it would look a little strange to your boyfriend. I think the best thing you could do would be to put the ring up in a safe place somewhere until your daughter is old enough to wear it. Honestly, I am a little confused as to why you would want your daughter to have it if it wasn't from her father, but I am not completely familiar witht the situation, so I will leave that alone. Just do what you think is best. If you are willing to take the ring off your finger and put it up somewhere, I am sure your bf would be fine with that as long as he didn't have to look atit everyday on his sweetheart's finger. If not, and he insists that you actually sell it, maybe he's not the guy for you anyway. Good luck and God Bless.

Nisha, you are in singles and dating. I think you will get much better advice if you put this question in             (business and finance/ Real estate). I think he forfeits the money,but find out first legally, then keep it if you can!\n I wish i could help. Good Luck

This all depends if it is a civil or a criminal matter. If the property was jointly owned, or the person you are referring to is an ex -partner/wife, then this is probably a civil matter which unfortunately is not what the police are for. If that is the case, you need advice from your own solicitor.\n\nThe police will be able to help you with this matter if the property can be viewed as having been stolen (ie a criminal matter).\n\nIf a person is to be found guilty of stealing, it must be shown that the person dishonestly appropriated the property, that the property belonged to another (ie you) and that the person had the intention to permanently deprive you of that property. \n\nWhy not telephone your local police station - they will soon tell you if this is a civil or criminal matter. Good luck!

It is perfectly fine to buy a new ring. It isn't who bought the ring or how much it costs (though it's turning your finger green, it might not last very long), it's the meaning behind it. My boyfriend split our Engagement ring 50/50 because we were both in college as well. You might first want to talk to your fiance. Tell him how the metal is irritating your finger (which it will, if it hasn't yet) and ask him to go with you. Let him know how much you love the ring and you love him, but, how the ring just needs alittle touching up. Good luck and Congrats!

Wow, that's a long time.\n\nIMO by the time my wife and I had gotten married it WAS just a formality...it was as you say, "just a piece of paper." \n\nHowever, that did not come from apathy...not in the least. It was that my wife was so special to me, I had already decided by that point that this was the woman I was to spend the rest of my life with. The whole point of the ring and marriage is for validation...if he is waiting so long then it appears as though he is avoiding something. \n\nIt really sounds like he just proposed to make ya happy or, forgive the phrase, shut ya up. If he had really intended to engage to you, he would have bothered to plan for a ring. It took me 6 months, the opening of my first credit card (at 27), and a lot of freaking raman noodles...but I'd be damned if I wasn't going to provide the love of my life with some sort of validation. \n\nThe ring, ceremony, etc. is just symbolic...but if he isn't willing to put up, I can't help but wonder where else he will slack later. \n\nBasically this is something I would call a problem...but please don't take my speculation or anyone elses for what is really going on. It sounds as if you guys need to have a serious discussion and decide where you are going. It sounds like you have been through a lot together, and none of those trials and tribulations are going to be over soon. \n\nYou really need to know where you stand with this guy. Good luck and hope it all turns out.

I dont think that you should keep it, that is basically a nice form of stealing.  I think that you should track him down and give it back.
