[edit] Pantun in Indonesia
want to ask, isn't pantun also exist in Indonesia? Fanatic terrorist 11:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, esp. in West Sumatra. There's tradition of 'exchanging pantun' that is still performed during a wedding between the two families in Minangkabau. During the 'exchange' when the family of the groom cannot repel the pantun from bride's family, the groom's family should return home in vain. The wedding can be canceled and should be repeated again in the future until the bride's family satisfies. But this is rarely occasion that the wedding is canceled due to unsuccessful pantun exchange. Yes, I agree that the article needs a total rewrite. Indon (reply) — 15:34, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
