B could be on the Thales circle over AC, and AB need not be equal to BC.

One method to check whether AB : BC is the same proportion as CD : DA could be to draw a line between B and D. If the line crosses the line AC in the middle, the proportion is the same. Otherwise not.

Hint: $\angle DAB$ need not be right.
