Re: Broken marriage engagement

Generally, if the person giving the engagement ring breaks the engagement the ring that was given is kept by the person receiving the ring. If the the person receiving the ring breaks the engagement, the ring is returned. The person breaking the engagement is the loser. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
