Dear Steemit friends,
Today I want to tell you about Ranup "in Acehnese language" which means Betel leaf is a hereditary tradition performed by people in Aceh, this incident occurred when a man applied for a woman.
In the tradition of Acehnese boys who are considered mature to find a mate then the family will send someone who is considered wise in speaking (called seulangke) to deal with this matchmaking. If seulangke has got the girl in question then first he will review the status of the girl whether he has been proposed or married status. If no one has any, then he will convey the intent of the family of the boy was to propose to the girl. Furthermore,
On the day that has been agreed then the entourage of the elderly men to come to the house of the girl's parents who will be proposed to bring the betel as a reinforcement of the bond and its contents.
If the application is accepted, the male family will come back to "peukong haba" to discuss when the wedding day will take place, including specifying how much the requested dowry (Jeulamee) is requested and how many guests will be invited. Usually at this event at once held the engagement ceremony.
In this event the men will deliver a variety of typical foods of Aceh, buleukat kuneeng (yellow glutinous rice) with tumphou, various fruits, a set of women's clothing and jewelry tailored to the ability of male families. But if the bond is broken in the middle of the road caused by the men who decide then the gold mark will be considered lost. But if the cause is the woman then the gold mark must be returned twice as much.
