The fourth finger

Why must we wear the ring on the fourth finger... Please follow the steps and you will know. First, do as the photo shown below.



Try to separate your thumbs. Thumb represent parent, they will leave you someday, hence the thumbs can be separated.

Close your thumbs and try to separate your index fingers. Index fingers represent siblings, they will leave you someday when they have their own family, hence index fingers can be separated.

Close your index fingers and try to separate your little fingers. Little fingers represent children, they will leave you someday when they have grown up, hence little fingers can be separated.

Now close your little fingers and try to separate your fourth fingers. You will realize that you cannot separate them, because they represent the marriage of husband and wife.
