Visual markers of marital status are particularly important because they indicate that a person may not be approached for flirtation, courtship or sex. In some cultures, married people enjoy special privileges or are addressed differently by members of the community.
Marital status markers are usually gender-specific.
Male
Male marital status markers are usually less elaborate than female marital status markers. In many cultures, they may be non-existent.
Jewelry
In many Western countries, some married men wear a wedding ring on the third finger of the left hand. In parts of Europe, especially in German-speaking regions, as well as Greece, Russia, Poland, Norway, Lithuania and Bulgaria, the wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of the right hand. In modern times, the material for wedding rings has become less strictly defined, and includes gold, white gold, red gold, tungsten carbide, platinum, and titanium.
Manual laborers sometimes use rings from inexpensive or durable materials like tungsten or an ink tattoo while working to avoid damage to the ring or the possibility of injury.
Beards
Among the Amish and Hutterite communities of Canada and the United States, only married men are entitled to wear beards. Unmarried men must shave.
Prayer Shawl
In some Ashkenazi Jewish communities, men wear a prayer shawl, known as a \"tallit\" or \"tallis,\" only after marriage. It is customary for the father of the bride to present the groom with a tallit as a wedding present.
