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

Listen to sound of logic and history...science shall solve this problem.

1. When a lady and a man walk side by side, they may want to hold handa.
2. For historical reasons a gentlemen always keeps his lady on his right. Mainly because he wears his sword on his left and it may be awkward to keep both the lady and the sword on the same side.
3. Hence, only the left hand of the lady is freely holdable.
4. It is therefore advisable and logical that the lady carries all unnecessary hardware on her right hand,

I leave it to you to figure out which hand of the gentlemen is better to ring..you are now scientificially equipped to solve the mystery.

Thanks to AlphaF...

Yes, but what if he is left handed. Wouldn't he carry his sword on his right side? Hence, only allowing his left side to be free.:-S

good observation !

Can you reason out the solution yourself, or do you need help?

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



There is a very practical reason for this too. think about it...

Maybe I chose a wrong word, I don't know if "devoted" is a good word here, but usually the ones who follow the religion quite a lot wear their alliance on the right hand. I don't know how much true it's but the reason for it is because of hygiene. According to İslam cleaning is very important, so after having made your toilet, you clean yourself with your left hand, so...

I understand now what your saying. I'm not sure about using the left hand, though.
