I don't think that there is a rule. As an example, many grooms even don't have a ring after the wedding.

It may not be a rule, but I'm sure they have customs. You mentioned some men don't even wear their's after the wedding. Isn't this a little disrespectful to their wife? Also, does a woman give a man an engagement ring to, just curious?

Usually the devoted muslims put their marriage rings on their right hand.

So if they wear them on their left hand, their not considered a devoted muslim?

None of the men in my family ever wore wedding rings. It's a recent thing for men to wear wedding rings.
