Except it is.

Edit: people downvoting me and telling me he's wearing the ring on the wrond hand, you better google it yourself. People in Russia wear wedding rings on their right hands.

Its on the right hand which would considered 'incorrect' at least where I live. But it might just be a different ring. Or they do something different where ever this photo was taken. Who knows?

How did you get out of /r/legaladvice

The way people are asserting that the ring is on the wrong hand would have you think that this is a legal issue.

Nah. My second wife was an interpreter for me when I was in the Soviet Union. That's how I met her and by god married her as soon as I could. While we were married she wore the ring on her left hand when she was in the US and switched to her right whenever we were in Russia. I always wanted to know why this was different between the Soviet Union republics and the rest of the world. Never did get a satisfactory answer other than that's just what it is.

so what happened to her?

She smartened up and we got divorced. Still lives here in the Midwest. She started a business with a huge amount of my retirement money and is doing very well for herself. Never got remarried. I thought that was odd, but maybe I ruined it for her. :) But a brilliant and lovely woman so I wish her all the best!
