^ It matters. NO one but the hubby should be putting that ring on. ANY MIL who prefers to put the ring on her DIL instead of letting her son do it…be warned…she will be one to watch out for after marriage. This shows her controlling nature from the get-go. A big red flag.

i disagree here. trust me, i have seen my share of insanely jealous insecure MIL who think they own their sons and dont want to even share him with his wife. its not uncommon. but for the most part, MIL puts on the ring because of mehram/na-mehram issue. in many families, it’s not appropriate for a guy to even touch a girls hand before they are married for religious reason. i think most MIL who put on the ring is for this reason.
i have seen it happening in some conservative hijabi/niqabi families where girls will never let a guy even get near them unless married.
yes it sounds ridiculous to me, but to each his own.
