Hi Uk Eng, well Im glad that you are awake obviously not wide awake!. I totally agree with you that this is not an Islamic thing if you re-read what i wrote it was quite clear "Obviously this is not an islamic requirement" I think I should have mentioned that many of us British Pakistanis/ Indians have adopted wearing rings.. nothing wrong in that!

Even in Pakistan and India I have seen muslims wearing a ring! More to do with getting engaged Id say.

I think its more of a customery thing to have a ring. I dont even think many of us associate having ring to do with Islam!

But then again saying that my brother is exchanging rings on his civil wedding!

However, would say that I have never seen anyone present a ring on their Nikahh thats for sure!
