A divorced man is not entitled to demand the return of the gold he gifted you before the marriage contract. Whoever gives a gift before consummation and then divorces has absolutely no right to reclaim it, whether it is still in existence or not. Therefore, you are not obliged to return the aforementioned gifts or their value.
