There seems to be little protocol when it comes to a traditional Penan wedding. The Penan are an egalitarian society unlike their class conscious neighbours, the Kayans and the Kenyahs. According to Madam Yiam, the wife of the Seman Ngang, the village chief of Long Kevok, if a couple decide to get married they must first get parental consent to do so. Gifts are not required, but if the groom can afford it, then he can present to the bride’s parents a blowpipe, a parang, sarongs and an engagement ring.
