Couple showing off their wedding rings
In an exclusive interview by PM News
on the streets of Abuja on Monday, some married men in the nation's
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have revealed that not wearing their
wedding rings is not to disrespect the marriage bond, and descibed the
wearing of marriage rings as a mere symbol.
An Abuja-based businessman, Ikenna Ibegbu, said that he disliked the idea of wearing any kind of jewellery.
“Personally, I don’t appreciate the idea of wearing jewellery on my body because they make me uncomfortable.
"I prefer to leave my hands bare and that does not mean I don’t
respect the sacredness of marriage. Women are the ones that are
conscious of wearing jewellery and the ring is just a symbol,” he said.
According to him, wearing the marriage ring can be discomforting
but some men do so to respect their spouse, adding that respecting the
concept of marriage fell more on the individual than a mere symbol.
Meanwhile a banker identified as George Edem, disclosed that most
men do not wear their marriage ring due to the nature of their jobs.
“There are men who will hardly wear their marriage rings
because of the kind of jobs they do; it can be discomforting to them
while working.
“You will hardly find a doctor that constantly wears his
marriage ring because their job requires pulling it at intervals to wash
hands and do other things.
“For that kind of person, he will rather keep the ring in a
safe place than removing it at intervals which can make him lose it,” he said.
He said there were some men who would prefer to use the ring as a
pendant for a necklace than misplace it, adding that jewellery were
generally perceived to be a feminine thing.
He revealed further that most men who rarely wore their marriage
rings had gained weight over the years, hence the ring no longer fits.
A Computer Engineer, Henry Okpala, said he oftentimes forget to put on his marriage ring.
“I don’t forget that I am married because I live with the
consciousness always. So slipping a metal band on my left hand to
signify the obvious is not a huge priority for me. If I am making my
marriage a priority, the ring does not matter," he said.
Mrs Evangeline Udoka, a fashion designer, said “80 per cent of men
have put on weight after marriage, so the wedding ring no longer fit
them.
“When they were single, they ate food occasionally and their
fingers were slimmer compared to when they got married and eat
regularly. The constant feeding contributed to their weight gain and
their fingers outgrow the size of the ring.
“Besides, men always want to present themselves as single to
cheat on their spouse while others don’t regard the ring as a show of
marriage,” she said.
She said that women were keener in buying a new one to replace the
old rings when their finger outgrows it, adding that there were honest
men who do not cheat on their spouse, but view wearing of rings
abnormal.
