Fighting Over Diamond Engagement Rings
Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy proposes with a diamond engagement ring. Girl wears his ring. Then they have a fight and break up – so the question that comes up is: who gets the ring? This has become such an issue in the recent past that many couples have gone to court to settle the issue. Both sides have a point. The boy spent for the ring – but he did give it to the girl.
Considering that most engagement rings take up a sizeable chunk of a man’s earnings, it is but natural that he feels that he has a claim to it if the relationship does not work out. Recent court rulings seem to veer that way too and more and more verdicts are in favour of the one who paid for the ring.
The thing is, it does not matter whose fault it was – since the engagement is looked at as a trial period before the couple decides to get married, it has been felt that the buyer has the rights to the ring in case of a split. And there are sites online that will sell the ring for you if you want them too.
