In germany its also on the left.

And i guess its mainly on the left as lost people are right handed and the ring on the left is more out of the way as if it were worn on the dominant right hand.

I'm from Europe and we wear it on the left.
Also, the last countries you mentioned are not part from Europe.

Yeah, I do know the last countries and not a part of Europe. That's the reason I updated the question and wrote down all the countries.

Oh, I thought you meant "those European countries wear it on the right hand". Sorry then, I misunderstood.

[Asker]

I thought the same. But the countries I mentioned above wear the wedding ring on their right hand ring finger. I have no idea why 🤷‍♂️
