This is very interesting!
Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given

There has been darkness in my life.
Misery, pain.
I felt like I could never laugh again.
People laughed about me.

But your parents... they stick with wewe from the beginning until the very end. Even when they leave the world, their memory and their wise lessons guide wewe throughout life. The upendo your parents have for wewe is the strongest upendo ever felt kwa humans. And I think it would be idiotic to say otherwise.

I fight a lot with my parents. I become insolent and harsh with them at times, and sometimes, I exceed to such...
