It's not a must in Indonesian culture and not necessary.

Thank you for your reply.
Hehehe...pesta is dowry,and dowry cost around S$5k,which is about 50 juta. I believe as you type this,the bro whom PM-ed me should be reading it. I think he might have got a rude shock with the around S$16k marriage expenses and the hurrying part of the parents to try to marry their daughter off to him.

IDR5M is S$500?

Property is under the girl's name, but I heard you can get a notary to ensure that the girl can't sell the land and property without your consent.

The Indo city the bro will be (or likely be) marrying the girl isnt in Batam tho. Not so sure about buying property and having a notary against the girl selling it off but well,i was looking at apartments in Batam.... (out of topic,hehehe...)

...selling at about S$40k plus minus. (landed property actually isnt that expensive but i think it isnt eligible for foreigners),installment for a studio apartment is around S$680 a month (foreigner eligible). Not so expensive afterall for most Sillyporean tho,hehehe...thank you for sharing the good info.
*Actually i have seen in real life Indo girls selling away the house the guy bought and ran away with the money (written in the old Batam thread,where it happens in my ex work place's building cleaner).
