In Aceh, the dowries given to the prospective wife are rarely in the form of a set of prayer tools. Usually the dowry is given in golden form. The count is not in the form of gram but mayam. One mayam worth 3.3 grams. Once a mayam touched the price of 1.8 million rupiah, but on average, gold price of one mayam ranged from 1.6 to 1.7 million rupiah.

In addition to the rings are also brought along as bright as clothing and food materials. But this number of enlightenment is usually only symbolic with a limited number. And the golden cicin has been counted as part of the dowry.
In addition to the cost of buying engagement rings and dowries, there are still other costs to be prepared. Some areas in Aceh have imposed customs called "charred money" and "room contents". This means the prospective husband handed over some "help" money to the reception at the prospective wife's place including the bedroom furniture. The bedroom furniture consists of a bed, dresser and dressing table. Nominalnya ranged from nine million rupiah to the top. And someone has deleted it.
