Complaints over marriage cost

BANYUMAS, Central Java: Gumelar district residents complained
on Tuesday about the high cost of getting married as set by the
local office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs (KUA).

In a meeting with Abas Rosyadi, a member of Banyumas
legislative council, the people said they had to pay up to Rp
120,000 in marriage fees, four times higher than the official
tariff of Rp 28,000.

"This is ridiculous, I will check why you must pay so much for
your marriages," Abas said.

Head of Banyumas's KUA Atabik Yusuf refused to comment on the
complaints. (45)
