Male giving a ring to his married cousin

Q: If a girl is married and in a joking form if a cousin brother gives her a ring and told her that this is an engagement ring, then that girl denies is and then he said he is just kidding and the girl is sure that she is married and she doesn't take her cusion brother more than a brother, so she took this as a gift and wore it on the right hand and when he left, she removed it. Is her nikaah with her husband effected?

Previous nikaah breaking through accepting Islam

Q: I hope you can help with this question. I am a revert Muslim, I was previously married. When I was a Christian even back then my marriage with my Christian husband is in trouble, we have a very rocky marriage. When I accepted Islam, I tried to talk to him about Islam. At first he seemed to be ok with my new religion but as the years go by he demonstrated so much hate with my religion, he does not want me to practice my religious rites and beliefs and demanded me to return back to Christianity to which I object. I ask him for a separation since then which he accepts but lately when I contacted him for my wish to have an annulment. He suddenly objected to it. I wanted to marry a very good Muslim man who proposed to me because I see this man to be lawful and obedient to Islamic law. My question is am I allowed to marry this Muslim man according to Sharia law? I have read so many articles regarding this. I am confused. My Ex-husband is preventing me to practise Islam and even called my religion as devil. I don't want to be with him anymore because of this issue and many more. What is the Sharia ruling on this? I hope you can guide me.
