The tippong bumi, expiation, or purification of the earth from the stain it has received, was however gratuitously paid. No plea was set up that the action was unpremeditated, and the event chance-medley.
When this is discovered he can oblige the man to marry her, and pay the jujur; or, if he chooses to keep his daughter, the seducer must make good the difference he has occasioned in her value, and also pay the fine, called tippong bumi, for removing the stain from the earth.
If the person has been recovered previous to the trial the offender pays half the bangun. If a man kills his brother he pays to the proattins the tippong bumi. If a wife kills her husband she must suffer death. If a wife by semando wounds her husband her relations must pay what they would receive if he wounded her.
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.
The bangun or compensation for the murder of a common person, woman or girl, is 150 dollars. The bangun or compensation for the murder of the legitimate children or wife of a pambarab is 250 dollars. The bangun of an outlaw is fifty dollars without tippong bumi. No bangun is to be paid for a person killed in the commission of a robbery.
