Quoting CANLI:



As for the devoted Muslims wear the rings,or the bands on the right hands,i never heard of it.



But it's like this here.
Look at our Islamist prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He's married for over 25 years, he wears his ring on his right hand although the norm is the left hand.


İs it gold ?!
Or its just my eyes ?



It must be silver.

It is another meaningful! cause to critisize Erdoğan to death as he goes against the norm of wearing the wedding ring.

Shame on you Erdoğan!

Hey hey qdemir,i didnt critisize the man
He has all my respect,if he wish to wear his wedding ring in his right hand,or left hand its all his business not mine.
İ just asked if its gold or not,because as you know being a Muslim you'men' not allowed to wear gold.
So if its gold,it would make a difference yes.

There was an ancient belief that a very vital blood vessel ran from the ring finger on the left hand directly to the heart. It was therefore thought appropriate, that a ring that symbolized true love should be worn on the ring finger. The vein was given the name 'vena amori' meaning 'the vein of love'. The Egyptians and Romans believed that, the wedding ring which symbolized eternal love would best be worn on the ring finger of the left hand.
As medical science developed, it became apparent that the ancient belief was wrong and there was really no 'vein of love' that ran from the ring finger on the left hand to the heart! However, the practice of referring to that particular finger as the ring finger has continued to this day.
Besides the strong belief in the vein of love, there is another interesting school of thought that tries to explain why a finger was named as the ring finger. In a Christian wedding, the priest normally says the following four phrases: (i) In the name of the Father. (ii) In the name of the Son. (iii) And of the Holy Ghost. (iv) Amen. As these words are uttered, the ring is moved one finger at a time from the thumb, to the index finger, on to the middle finger and finally moved to (and left) on the ring finger when the fourth phrase 'Amen' is uttered. This finger was therefore called the ring finger according to traditions followed in a Christian wedding.

I don't think RTE would wear gold. It's probably platin which is also more expensive than gold.
