According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, husband A and wife B living in southern Indonesia's Kon Awe region were married for five years.
The village of Pudombi, where they live, is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Tolaki people, who value peace and community harmony, and residents value traditional clothing and rituals.
Last September, A witnessed his wife together at another man's house. When various evidence was presented to the police, the two admitted to the affair. His wife's affair turned out to be an employee of a nearby mining company.
A then asked the village elders for help and decided to divorce peacefully through the traditional Toraki ritual of 'Mowea Sarapu'. This ritual means 'Let go and make peace' and serves to end the conflict between couples in a way of reconciliation and purification within the community.
On the day of the ceremony, A and B sat together in front of villagers, relatives, and elders and apologized to each other.
In the video, A tears up and grabs her by the shoulder of her infidelity "Please take good care of her. Please don't hurt me. She's never been happy in the time she's been with meThere is a scene saying ".
In accordance with the Toraki custom, his wife's lover offered A a cow, a traditional cloth, a copper bowl, and 5 million rupiah (about W430,000) in cash as a reward. The village chief said "Both sides have taken this as fate and lesson, and I hope everyone lives a better life."
Toraki common law does not explicitly prohibit women from having multiple 'Mowea Sarapu' ceremonies, but it is said that another affair with a man could lead to great shame and moral condemnation for her and her family.
Upon hearing the news, netizens posted comments such as "Sometimes letting go is the biggest expression of love", "No matter how much consciousness is justified, betrayal is only betrayal", and "Isn't it the situation my husband was hoping for?"
