Football players and the women who refused to return their engagement rings
 |
| Erin Marzouki was loving Mario Williams...not anymore. |
What is it with football players and engagement rings? First it was Roy Williams who mailed a $76,000.00 ring to former Miss Texas, Brooke Daniels and had to sue to get it back. Now it is Mario Williams and a $785,000.00 ring he's trying to pry from the tight palm of his former fiancee Erin Marzouki.
M. Williams's ring is 10 carats! A Houston reporter tweeted out what a 10 carat ring looks like:

Do y'all remember the Roy Williams incident? He mailed a video proposal to Daniels along with the ring. (Hol' up! Who proposes via video? He at least could have Skyped the chick...) Her daddy grabbed the ring and refused to give it back after she said no. Eventually Daniels returned the ring after realizing R. Williams wasn't playing about his court suit.

R. Williams and M. Williams have a lot more in common than their last names and chosen occupations. Now that M. Williams and Marzouki's wedding has been called off, he has her up in court trying to get his ring back.
Quite frankly, I don't blame him. In many states, an engagement ring is a conditional gift. (It's the case in Texas where both cases went down.) A conditional gift is one that the grantee can only keep if a particular condition is met. With engagement rings the condition is that a marriage takes place.
Basically, a fiancee is only the bailee (a legal term meaning holder of an item for someone else) for a ring until the marriage takes place and she can then own it. Some states allow the person who was not at fault for the break up to keep the ring. Others say it is just a gift and the fiancee gets to keep it. If you want to know what your state says about it, read this article.

I don't know what caused M. Williams and Marzouki's relationship to go sour, but he's now accusing her of being a gold-digger, who did not intend to marry him but to reap the benefits of his hard earned cash. (A lot of cash to dig...he makes about six million a year on a $100 million contract...)
Apparently, she called off the wedding and he realized she was just in it to win it. Once again...why are you with someone who is trying to come up off of you? If that is what you feel, anyway...
Either way, it is his ring...she should give it back.
What do y'all think? Should engagement rings get returned no matter who ended the relationship? Were Marzouki and Daniels trying to come up off the Williams dudes?
