You will find only prepubescent, young unmarried girls, married women wear flowers in their hair in India. You will never find a widow what ever her age may be wearing flowers in her hair, in the traditional Indian culture. Widows are not (meant to be) sexually active or are to be considered attractive. - Nandini Valli, Hair series
