Well it honestly depends on what part of the world your from. In eastern europe, germany, and other nordic countries it’s worn on the right hand. In western cultures.. it’s worn on the left hand. If your marrying someone from a different country who wears their ring on the right hand, and you live here in the US. Then I would suggest that you get two wedding rings to signify your married. Good luck.

If it a wedding ring it should not be on any other finger than the left. That sounds like there might be some cheating going on.

Wedding rings should be on the left, forth finger (the one between the pinky and the middle finger) by both the husband and wife.

In general in North America, wedding rings are worn on the left hand. However, some couples, for cultural/traditional reasons, wear them on the right hand, as we do.
“A traditional reason to wear the wedding ring on the right hand stems from Roman custom. The Latin word for left is “sinister”, which in addition to this sense also has the same senses as the English word. The Latin word for right is “dexter”, a word that evolved into “dexterity”. Hence, the left hand had a negative connotation and the right a good one.” – Wikipedia

It’s cultural thing. In America, we were them on our left ring fingers, but in other countries they wear them on their right ring finger.
