Pro Football Player Suing Former Fiancee over 10-Carat Engagement Ring

Story here. Excerpt:
'Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams may be entering the second year of a six-year, $96 million contract, but right now, he's much more worried about $785,000.
According to The Buffalo News' Dan Herbeck, Williams has filed a lawsuit against his ex-fiancée, Erin Marzouki, in Houston's Harris County Court to obtain a 10-carat engagement ring he gave her in a proposal.
Williams alleges in his lawsuit that Marzouki never wanted to marry him and only used him for his money.

The lawsuit also alleges that there was an agreement in place that if the engagement were called off, she would return the ring. Marzouki reportedly called off the engagement in January after receiving the ring in February 2012.
From a legal standpoint, Texas is a no-fault state for gifts, which engagement rings falls under. That means the person giving the ring is legally allowed to ask for its return “on breach of the marriage engagement by the donee,” per Herbeck. Thus, Williams' lawyers noted that the Bills defensive end has a "right to recovery" in regards to the expensive piece of jewelry.'

Good for him
It's a mark of how nymphotropic a world we live in when there are actually ppl who say it's fine for a former fiancee to keep an engagement ring even after she's the one who called it off.
And if women really do want equality, why do they still expect if not also insist on getting an engagement ring from a would-be husband? Answer: They don't really want equality! But we knew that already.
