Many people in Indonesia follow the custom of giving dowry to the bride-to-be. As a symbolic gesture, the future groom proposes to the woman with whom he is supposed to get married with a gift. While most men propose with money or assets, one man made history by paying the bridal dowry with Bitcoins.
The wedding of a couple in Indonesia made headlines after it was revealed that Raja Muhammad Hasbi had given his future wife, Bau Tenri Abeng, 2 Bitcoins. At present exchange rates, 2 Bitcoins would be worth over 1.8 billion Indonesia Rupiah or more than $125k.
During the wedding ceremony in Makassar the woman from Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi and the man from Bengkalis Regency, Riau tied the knot. In the presence of their friends and family, the 47-year-old groom offered many gifts to the bride including the cryptocurrency on Tuesday, April 6.
The host of the wedding, Mismaya Alkhaerat, shared details of the other gifts that were a part of the bridal dowry. Among other things the woman received jewelry and three gold bars. The wedding was attended by close family and friends.
In 2019 when visiting her friends in Jakarta the bride got to know about cryptocurrency. She and her friends started investing in Bitcoins. When she met her future husband, she insisted that he proposed to her with Bitcoins. Convinced that the investment would be wise as Bitcoin prices continue to skyrocket, the man agreed to give them as the bridal dowry to his wife.
