  == Wedding ring ==  Hi Linuxlad,  I thought your comments as a whole added good detail but gave a simplistic impression that people would only wear their rings (or not) out of a sense that marriage, especially commitment to sexual fidelity, did not end on death.  There are lots of reasons people can continue to wear their rings, some of them purely practical.   For instance, continuing to wear a ring could be because of a desire not to change the way they are viewed by sections of society, or to provide themselves with more of a shield against questions; because of peer and family pressure; because they dislike the different feel of a newly ringless finger.  And others might still consider themselves married, but not wear their ring.  I don't believe the article should make assumptions about or narrowly define why people would choose a particular practice.  I wondered about adding some complexity (putting in other reasons and pointing out that individual decisions probably involve a mix of conflicting reasons) instead of deleting.  But it seems unreasonable emphasis on an article that is supposed to be focused on wedding rings rather than widowhood/death of a spouse.
