Wedding rings

The Holdeman Mennonites do not wear wedding rings or jewelry. The women wear prayer coverings when baptized and the men grow beards once baptized. There really is no way to determine by sight if they are married or not, men or women.
The only jewelry they wear is a watch and it must be quite plain.

Hi. Married indian women use a red dye called vermilion on the centre parting of their hair. They put it starting fom the hair line parted in the middle to about midway in the hair. They may or may not put on wedding rings or wedding necklaces. Vermilion on the hair is the number one proof the woman is married. When next you watch an indian film, or see an indian woman, to know if she is married, look at the middle of her hair (not all the women part their hair before applying the dye.)

I never take mine off.

I used to take it off to wash my hands because I didn’t want the soap to get into the grooves, but every once in a while we go to the jewelry shop to have them cleaned.

They are very important.

Temptation is rampant, this outward sign of promise and commitment has kept me out of trouble when sinning seemed more interesting.
