The results of this study are, in the commodification process of this contract marriage there is a form of communication in which this communication is carried out face to face or face to face, namely a communication process carried out by the communicator to a communicant which is carried out directly without any help or intermediary of a media. The communication technique used by opinion leaders to invite and convince prospective brides and grooms, both men and women, is to use persuasive communication techniques.
