This tradition is still carried out even though it is difficult. Through negotiations and agreements, those problems can be overcome and continue in the next process. This uang japuik is usually given in goods, but some provide cash. Novel Mahar Cinta Gandoriah tells about the refusal of matchmaking because the uang japuik amount is too high.
