Traditionally, Hindu, and some Sikh, married women wear sindoor, a red powder, in the parting of their hair to indicate their married status; if widowed, they abandon sindoor and jewelry and wear simple white clothing.

However this is not true of all Hindu women; in the modern world this is not a norm and women without sindoor may not necessarily be unmarried.
