The adat, or custom, of the semando malayo or mardiko, to be paid by the husband to the wife's family upon the marriage taking place, is fixed at twenty dollars and a buffalo, for such as can afford it; and at ten dollars and a goat, for the poorer class of people.
In this phrase the word dad corresponds to the modern Musalman shariyat and the word ain to adat. It is possible that the book of Ibn al Mukaffa was not the first translation of the Persian book since this title is applied by not a few other Arabic writers of the time to some of their own works. These quotations are only to be found in the first part of the Uyunal Akhbar.
The ancient customs of the Malays and Javanese did not prescribe any religious ceremony for marriages; they had their 'adat, or customs, which were as strictly adhered to as if they had been religious, but there was nothing consecrating the marriage tie.
The bangun of pambarabs and proattins is to be divided between the pangeran and pambarabs one half; and the family of the deceased the other half. The bangun of private persons is to be paid to their families; deducting the adat ulasan of ten per cent to the pambarabs and proattins. If a man kills his slave he pays half his price as bangun to the pangeran, and the tippong bumi to the proattins.
