MARRIED FOR INDIGENOUS DEBT
Martuppoles.

At exactly 5 am, my room was already gedor by Mamak. Elazer's still asleep with Mamak and that's my chance to take a bath.

Nindy's brother Elazer's brother Nindy has arrived in this room, and Nindy has prepared an ASI pump and his place.

Since Nindy is awake, Mamak goes to Lisa's room for makeup.Because today is her Martuppol show Lisa and Prince.

Exactly at 6 we are ready, the invitation from the village has also arrived.Since this is still Martuppol then only 1 bus about 20 more.

At 7 o'clock we had breakfast together, and half-nine Princes had already arrived at this house along with his entourage, because it does not fit in the house partly directly to the Church which is not far from this complex.

(Martuppol Event or engaged, the clan elder from the second party of the bride and groom face each other or maruppasa, our village Indigenous Regent becomes an Elder for our family.

finish the reception event further prayer led by parboru and the father who led His prayer, then we go to church.)

Arriving at the church, the parboru (the bride's family) is separated from the paranak (the groom's family).

The first event was the service as usual, and then continued the sermon.after that session asked, the pastor asked the two prospective bride if there was still another relationship with their respective girlfriends.

After the two brides answered that there was no longer a special relationship with each other in continuing with the pronunciation of the wedding vows. The two prospective brides affixed His signature and the parents of the bride-to-be, as well as the parents of the bride, the last witness two people from both prospective brides and ended by the pastor.

After that the pastor announced that the wedding 2 Weeks from now, there should be two public worship in this Church can only be blessed.

Closure of Worship and the greeting from each representative of the bride and groom, and then leave for the guesthouse or building for the next customary event.

This is where parboru gives food to all guests, and for the cost it depends on the deal.

In this case, according to the agreement the cost is borne by the paranak (family of the bridegroom) and in the name of parboru (family of the bride).

The first event is an upa-upa to the two prospective brides, the largest arsik carp and must be gold. afterwards continue the prayer of eating and eating together.

Finish Eating further events with the division of amber (pork pieces based on body parts, and handed over to the family in order of Marga and sideline the family.

In Batak jambar Indigenous event this is a vital thing, if the wrong order and body parts of livestock, can be brawled because they feel disrespected.

The meat is not much, but that is custom. usually this is done by an experienced Elder Marga**.)

The next event is a bargain Sinamot (Mahar) if there is a deal first, then the paranak party convey it before parboru, there is usually a rise of Sinamot.

Sinamot agreed when marhori-hori (clear the relationship between the two prospective brides) dingding is worth 20 million Rupiah, after the bargain by the Indigenous Stakeholder from this village as a representative of our family, Sinamot finally increased to 35 million Rupiah.

The reason for Sinamot's Ascension is because our family as a prospective bride's family is very much, and everything in the village so need funds to go to Medan during the wedding.

Next is the surrender of Sinamot to his Mama bride, in Batak tradition that accepts Sinamot is the Mama of the bride.

(Sinamot is placed in a dish, His order is rice, which symbolizes that the bridegroom mangalui or provide for his future wife and children later.

three leaves of betel leaves, which means the bridegroom has taken care of his wife and children later, betel symbolizes health, loyalty and prosperity. because betel is very useful that is why betel leaf is chosen to complement this Martuppol Customary event.

the third is a piece of raw meat, it is usually pork or buffalo meat, this symbolizes the prospective groom is a real and strong man.

Ready to provide good and complete nutrition to his family later, livestock meat symbolizes luxury because meat is a source of protein and vitamins)

Next is the division of Sinamot to the family of the bride, actually not much, which is received starting from money 2 thousand, five thousand and 10 thousand.

Here also must be careful, if one of the nominal giving of money can be messy, and it is done in accordance with the Customary rules.

Then the event talks order Custom events during the Wedding Custom Event Sembari enjoy Snack and drink Coffee.

and this event is the longest, because it discusses the order of the Customs, the number of ulos that will be given to the paranak family, to the order of the order of the family.

Here also parboru parties demand the paranak to provide breakfast to the paranak when the parboru group arrives at the party, and here also parboru mintak something needed.

Starting from the additional transportation costs, the food must be decent and so on. Well here happens again bargain.

Somewhat complicated but unique, if you have reached an agreement the next event is a notification of the bride's prospective pick-up system.

Since our house is not far from the groom's house then during the wedding Later, the groom and his entourage will pick up the bride to his house and of course wear the custom again.

Money again money again, but here the family of the bridegroom undertakes it. After that is the last event, the, that is, the mother of the bride-to-be gives Rice along with side dishes Pauk to her Mammak bridegroom in the barrette (container that is usually from pandan matting).

And the thing his bride-to-be put it in her head then handed it to her future mother-in-law.

As agreed, the bride-to-be could not be brought by her future husband, and we planned to go home.

Because it is abstinence for us to wander after this Martuppol event before the wedding.

Traditional events are so long and time-consuming and cost a lot, because for Batak people the marriage is sacred once in a lifetime.

The cost, time and energy that will be sacrificed for the realization of a happy marriage.

Actually it could be without Indigenous, and without Sinamot, Martuppol then Blessing event and registering marriage in civil records.

But if it does not implement Adat, it will be Indigenous Debt. later it will not be able to make a customary feast for his children before paying Adat.

There is stigma from society or negative views from other communities for marriage without Indigenous.
