why is 'tali' used in marriages????

why is 'tali' used in marriages????
 
In those days they used 'Tali' as a recognition that the women is married. Tali was mere a thread with turmeric paste and dried and a turmeric root tied to the thread. As my guess says there was something else which was used for the recognition of a married women before the usage of turmeric (This is merely a guess and no proof or logical thinking). Gradually some science development was in progress and only after some significant scientific research the turmeric root and turmeric paste is used for this purpose. As we all know turmeric has a very high medicinal value. The then scientists came to a conclusion, if its there on women's neck it will help in building a good health. Now you can ask me why they choose neck and not any other part of the body. Neck is the first part where we get sweat more and more as we start sweating. That means there are lot of pores here. Don't you think this would be a good place to keep the medicine which can gradually diffuse into the body? The same conclusion was drawn by our great grand fathers and hence usage of turmeric.
