When a man courts a lady, he does not usually send letters of courtship but merely goes near the woman andoffers to help her. Afterward, the parents of the man will go to the house of the woman and tell the parents ofthe girl. If the girl accepts, then there was a feast called "Toghok". The parents of the man in that party shallwait for the respond of the woman and the dowry that she asked. Then another feast follows before a weddingceremony will be done. But if the woman does not like the man, she has to go to the home of the man andgave her an answer. Still, if the parents of the man gave back to the house of the girl, he brings with him a sumof money and leaves it in the parents of the girl, until the woman accepts, then the courtship stops.
The marriage follows, the man has to stay or helps in the work of the girl, called "Pangagad". Then thewedding ceremony takes place. The old folks at home prepare a handful or a plate of rice and throw it to thenewlyweds. They also had some flowers in a glass and let the couple drink. Until this time there are stillpeople practicing these customs of the marriage ceremony.
