Ring Finger Tradition at Malay Weddings

In a departure from the customs of many other cultures, Malay brides wear their wedding ring on the fourth finger of their right hand. While this may seem minor, it holds significance in Malay wedding traditions.

Interestingly, it is not the groom but a senior female relative of the groom who places the wedding ring on the bride’s finger. The bride and groom wear rings, and Malay wedding celebrations are known for extravagance.
