Bride price payment and marriage Stability: An ethnographic study of the Brifors of the Upper West Region, Ghana

A bride price creates an unending bond for married couples in sub-Sahara Africa. This gesture is key within the Brifor cultural milieu in Ghana. This paper investigates the impact of bride price on marriage stability among the Brifor ethnic group. In-depth interviews were conducted with 45 Key Informants and seven defined groups. The results show that the cultural demands of high bride price payment among the Brifors stabilizes marriages, secures the entitlement right of the husband to the woman and children, but increases incidences of violence against women. From the results it is evident that apart from the high bride price payment contributing to marriage instability, there is also the indication that the abuse of the rights of wives depends largely on the character of the husbands, including the cultural mindset instilled in them through biological traits and/or family socialization in relation to their culture. The study concludes that although most participants felt that the practice of paying bride price should be reviewed, it was evident that the payment has become a double-edge sword confronting women in particular, relative to the stability or instability of marriages among the Brifors. Therefore, there is the need for traditional authority to reform the practice by reducing the bride price items and spacing out the payment period as a respite for husbands-to-be.

How Is Human Socioeconomic Position Linked With Dog Ownership Practices? A Study From Denmark

ABSTRACT Connections between dog ownership and socioeconomic position (SEP) are not well understood. This study examined associations between family and neighborhood levels of SEP and dog ownership, dog acquisition factors (purchase price and breed characteristics), and the purposes of owning a dog based on data from a survey carried out in Denmark in 2021. Participants (aged 18–89 years) were recruited using probability sampling (n = 2,112). Stepwise multivariable logistic or multinomial logistic regressions were conducted to identify significant associations with SEP. Approximately 20% of families in Denmark have a dog. Dog ownership was not found to be linked with income, education, or occupation when life course and lifestyle factors were taken into account. Neighborhood SEP was associated with dog ownership, but the association was not ordered. Payment of a high price for the dog was more prevalent both in high-SEP neighborhoods and in high-income families. Dog owners with low income and limited involvement in the labor market were more likely to have mixed-breed dogs. Those with a higher income and the self-employed were more likely to have a pedigree dog. Acquiring a dog to get physical exercise was more common among dog owners living in high-SEP neighborhoods. Owners with higher levels of education were more likely to have a dog because they liked the company of animals, and those with lower levels tended to keep a dog for instrumental reasons and for social support. The reason for keeping a dog for social support was mainly observed among those with lower levels of education who were also frequently (often/sometimes) involuntarily alone. As in many other areas of consumption, the results demonstrate that acquisition of, and reasons for keeping, a dog are linked to socioeconomic status. They also suggest that dogs play different roles in emotional and mental health at different educational levels.

A sweet burden? The effect of bride prices on parents' health

AbstractThe bride price, as an informal institution originated from traditional culture, is pervasive in many areas of the developing world in a form of a payment from the family of the groom to that of the bride at marriage. We study the effects of bride price on parents' health in China. Using information on bride price payment and various health measures from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we find that the bride price significantly reduces self‐reported health among the grooms' parents after addressing the endogeneity issue with average sex ratio within a family computed as an instrumental variable. The reductions are heterogenous across urban and rural areas. Mechanism analysis suggests the negative health outcomes are driven by family debt, heavier psychological stress and longer work hours caused by bride price payments.

An Analysis of Climate Change Threats to Cultural Practices: A Case Study of the Dikgale Community, South Africa

Scientists and policymakers are failing to account for the influence of climate change on many facets of cultural life. Much emphasis is placed on the effects of climate change on agriculture, with less emphasis placed on how low crop and livestock output may affect socio-cultural activities. The current study investigated the effects of climate change on the socio-cultural practices of the Dikgale community in South Africa’s Limpopo Province. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 150 participants purposely selected in a rural community. The study’s findings revealed that cultural activities that foster communities’ cohesion are already under threat from the effects of climate change. Temperature fluctuations and irregular rainfall negatively impacted cultural festivities such as the First Fruit Rituals, Rain-making Rituals, Cultural Entertainments, and bride price payment. To complete the rites and meet marital requirements, subsistence crops and cattle are used. Poor subsistence crop and livestock production has left the rituals obsolete, and as a result, these customs are rarely practised and have been supplanted by western practices. If this cultural heritage is lost, rural communities will lose significant social, cultural, and economic values. The study contributes to the less documented intangible cultural heritage dimensions impacted by climate change.

임차인이 지상물매수청구권을 행사한 경우, 석명의무와 동시이행항변권의 관계에 관한 연구

The supreme court case 94DA34265 (hereinafter referred to as ‘The Case’) says that in a lawsuit in which the lessor of land claims removal of ground facilities and delivery of the site against the lessee, if the lessee exercises the right to demand for the ground facilities purchase, the court has duty to elucidate whether the lessor is willing to demand delivery of the ground facilities at the same time as payment of the purchase price. (Hereinafter, elucidation above is referred to as ‘elucidation of simultaneous per- formance).
 At the basis of The Case, there appears to be an idea that if the lessor's claim changes to delivery of ground facilities, a judgment ordering simultaneous performance should be issued.
 However, according to majority opinion and precedent, for a judgment ordering simul- taneous performance to be issued, the lessee must file a plea of simultaneous performance. And the lessee's exercise of right to demand for purchase does not include a plea of simultaneous performance. Therefore, the idea that a judgment ordering simultaneous performance should be issued when the lessor's claim is changed to delivery of ground facilities is not valid. On the other hand, according to the minority theory that a ruling ordering simultaneous performance is possible even without a plea of simultaneous performance, the above idea is valid.
 According to the above majority opinion and precedent, elucidation of simultaneous performance is illegal as it exceeds the limits of the elucidation event. This is because the court indirectly informs the lessee of the existence of a plea of simultaneous performance by providing an elucidation of simultaneous performance to the lessor. On the other hand, according to the minority theory, the elucidation of simultaneous performance is not illegal because the outcome of the lawsuit is not affected even if the court informs the lessee of the existence of the plea of simultaneous performance.
 However, following the minority theory does not mean that elucidation of simultaneous performance is the court's duty. If the lessor requests delivery of ground facilities and the lessee's plea of simultaneous performance is acknowledged, the court may make a ruling upholding part of the claim. The court is not obligated to ensure that all claims are accepted through elucidation.
 In the end, The Case's position that elucidation of simultaneous performance is the court's duty is not valid, regardless of whether by majority or minority theory.

Perbuatan Melawan Hukum Yang Mengakibatkan Akta Jual Beli Batal Demi Hukum (Studi Kasus Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 1615 K/PDT/2020)

In conducting the sale and purchase of land, material requirements must be met followed by formal requirements, namely the deed of sale and purchase is drawn up and signed by the parties before the Land Deed Making Officer. The deed of sale and purchase serves as evidence that a binding agreement and agreement have been made among the parties involved, confirming the transfer of land rights accompanied by the payment of the price, thereby making the recipient of the rights or the buyer the new holder of the rights. This study aims to examine a tort of transferring land rights without the knowledge of the landowner in the case of Supreme Court Decision Number 1615 K/Pdt/2020, and the transfer of land rights based on national land law. The research method used in this study is normative legal research. This study resulted in the conclusion that the legal considerations and the judge's decision in the Supreme Court Decision Number 1615 K/Pdt/2020 were appropriate, proving that the Defendants had engaged in a tort under Article 1365 of the Civil Code, which resulted in the transfer of ownership rights without the knowledge of the Plaintiff. Since the enactment of Government Regulation No. 10/1961, which was later amended to Government Regulation No. 24/1997 concerning Land Registration, the sale and purchase transactions are conducted in the presence of authorized Land Deed Officers who have the authority to create the deed. The conclusive evidence of a transfer of the rights from the seller to the buyer, along with the payment of the agreed-upon price, is established by the executed deed of sale and purchase between the involved parties. Therefore, the relevant sale and purchase transaction has been carried out in a tangible manner.

The influence of bride price on the marriage quality of Chinese women and its differences between urban and rural areas

The practice of bride price payment has a longstanding history in China and has become a customary procedure by which men are able to get married. Despite attracting significant research attention due to the escalating bride price amount, few studies have focused on its impact on marriage quality. Using data from the 2020 Beijing and Chengdu Household Survey, this study examined how the bride price amount affects women's marital quality, including marital happiness, marital relationship quality, and exposure to domestic violence, based on three theoretical perspectives: marriage repayment theory, marriage endowment theory, and marriage signal theory. The study also incorporated interaction terms to investigate potential differences in the effects of bride price on women's marital quality between urban and rural areas. The results indicate that the current bride price practice is more aligned with the marriage endowment theory and has a statistically significant positive effect on urban women's marital happiness and relationship quality, but no effect was observed in rural areas. The influence of the bride price amount on the frequency of domestic violence against women also varied between urban and rural areas. Because men in rural areas face a disadvantage in the marriage market and there is a scarcity of available women, they are less likely to resort to domestic violence to manage marital conflicts when paying a higher bride price.

Legal Analysis Of The Authority Of A Notary Related To Making A Binding Deed Of Sale And Purchase (Case Study: Supreme Court Decision Number 685/Pdt.G/2020/PN Mdn)

This study raised the issue of the deed of binding sale and purchase of land handed down to the heirs of the buyer but the certificate and deed that has been approved by the notary was lost and a few years later there are parties who recognize that the object of land owned by the buyer has changed hands without the knowledge of the first buyer. The case is contained in the Supreme Court Decision No. 685/Pdt.G / 2020 / PN Mdn. The problem arises starting from Jan Willem Roeloffs as Plaintiff I and Pieter Roeloffs as plaintiff II intends to take care of the deeds he has related to the purchase of agricultural land covering an area of 2891 m2 located in Jaranguda Village, Simpang Empat District, Karo Regency, which his late parents did by borrowing the name of an Indonesian citizen, namely on behalf of Betty Boru Saragih as described in title certificate No. 88 dated November 7, 1995 and in the binding sale and purchase by the second party who has completed the payment of the purchase price to the First party of Rp. 10.000.000, - (ten million rupiah) by using deed of sale and purchase No. 6 dated January 12, 2001 as proof of receipt of payment by the First party. However, on September 16, 2006, the plaintiffs ' father died so that the obligation to take care of the Certificate of property rights number 88 dated November 7, 1995 an Betty Boru Saragih fell on the plaintiffs. On February 3, 2007. the plaintiffs asked the notary on behalf of Haji Marwansyah Nasution to take care of and reverse the name of property rights Certificate Number 88 dated November 7, 1995 on behalf of Betty to be on behalf of the plaintiffs by submitting the original document in 2012, there is someone who claims to be the owner of property rights Certificate Number 88 dated November 7, 1995 an Betty Boru Saragih based on The Binding Of Sale and Purchase With Tigor Manurung described in The Binding Of Sale and purchase with the right to repurchase number 228 dated September 23, 2011 made before notary Martua Simanjuntak SH. With these events, The plaintiffs objected and were aggrieved because according to the plaintiffs the original documents submitted to notary Haji Marwansyah Nasution had been abused by the Haji Marwansyah Nasution and Notary Martua Simanjuntak SH by issuing power of Attorney No. 68 dated November 30, 2010 from Betty Boru Saragih to Tigor Manurung made before Notairs Haji Marwansyah Nasution which was used as the basis for the sale and purchase of Tigor belongs to no. 88 dated November 7, 1995 as a result of the actions of Notary Haji Marwansyah Nasution and his team along with Notary Martua Simanjuntak who reversed the name of the Certificate of property rights No. 88 dated November 7, 1995 an Betty Boru Saragih became an Hotman Simanjuntak without the consent and without the knowledge of the plaintiffs who had the original land certificate, the plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the defendants as stated in Supreme Court decision number 685/Pdt.G / 2020 / PN Mdn. In the decision, the panel of judges granted the plaintiff's claim I and II in part and sentenced the defendant to pay forced money (dwangsom) after this decision has permanent legal force.

ANALYSIS OF THE IJARAH CONTRACT IN THE PRACTICE OF RENTING RICE FIELDS: CASE STUDY IN NORTH KLUET DISTRICT, SOUTH ACEH REGENCY

In North Kluet Subdistrict, South Aceh District, the farming community, rice fields become objects of rent for the benefit of cultivation so as to obtain crops for living needs. The purpose of this research is to find out the risk coverage of rice field crop failure and the payment mechanism, the forms of rental risk coverage at the time of crop failure to the parties, and the perspective of the ijarah contract on the risk coverage of rice field rental in North Kluet District, South Aceh Regency. This research uses a normative sociological approach and descriptive qualitative research analysis with data collection techniques through interviews/interviews, observation, and documentation data. The results showed that among the farming community of North Kluet Sub-district, South Aceh District, the risk coverage for the lease of paddy fields is carried out at the time of the lease agreement. At the time of the lease transaction, the owner of the paddy field will explain the condition of the land and the yields that are usually achieved, the payment of the rental of paddy fields is made when the harvest period is completed by the farmer with the same rental price as the previous harvest or raised slightly above the previous rent, with an explanation of the consequences of renting land, such as crop failure and others. For the case of crop failure, the parties agree on the consequences of crop failure either due to lack of water, pests, and force majeure then the solution offered that the losses incurred including all operational costs will be borne by the tenant, but the one who bears a lot of losses here is the land tenant even though the owner of the rice field also shares the loss because the rental price is adjusted to income by putting forward the principle of ‘mutual understanding’ due to lack of yield or crop failure, and payment of land rental prices will differ in amount from the initial lease agreement. The application of the lease of paddy fields among the people of North Kluet District, South Aceh Regency is not in accordance with Islamic law, because the tenant must work on it first and then get the results, and the results obtained are also not benefits.

Bank Responsibility for Coverage Rights Auction Objects That Cannot be Controlled by the Auction Winner

Article entitled Bank Responsibility for Objects of Mortgage Auctions That Cannot Be Controlled by the Auction Winners. The transaction process for the transfer of land and building rights through an auction is quite easy and simple. As long as the parties involved fulfill their respective rights and obligations in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations. Based on the explanation of Article 20 paragraph (1) of Minister of Finance Regulation Number 213/06.PMK/2020 regarding instructions for implementing auctions, auctions must run efficiently, effectively and provide legal certainty. This study aims to develop knowledge regarding bank responsibilities and legal protection for buyers of goods who are unable to exercise control over the object of the mortgage execution auction object. The form of research used in this research is normative, which is researched on legal principles, which are carried out on positive laws made in writing. The conclusion of this study: The bank is fully responsible for the juridical and physical leveraging of the auction object to the auction winner, based on Article 17 of the 2016 Auction Guidelines and Article 13 of the 2020 Auction Guidelines stating that the Seller, in this case Bank X, is responsible for the delivery of movable objects and/or immovable objects. Because basically, the law has regulated that the seller is obliged to guarantee the possession of the goods being sold safely and securely to the buyer. This form of accountability can be in the form of providing mediation so that the debtor wants to vacate the auction object voluntarily or by providing proper direction and coordination to the buyer to apply for an emptying execution or if as a last option, namely by returning payment of the auction price paid by the auction buyer. So that in the future the bank can facilitate the levering process and participate in guaranteeing the mastery of the collateral to hand over the auction object as a form of accountability, it is necessary to make a statement stating that if the debtor defaults, the debtor is obliged to voluntarily vacate the land and building of the mortgage, so that in the future the bank can obtain convenience in handing over the auction object and is also free from claims for compensation filed by the buyer.

Value of blockchain‐enabled supply chain traceability under competition

AbstractIn a modern supply chain, the quality of the final product is not determined by a single firm but depends on the joint efforts of multiple firms. When a quality defect happens, it is usually cost‐inefficient to trace the source of quality problems and all firms in the supply chain might incur a loss. New technologies such as blockchain can enable supply chain traceability at an affordable cost. In this paper, we develop a two‐echelon supply chain model including one supplier and one buyer in a competitive market. The quality of the final product depends on the two firms’ quality efforts. The buyer as a leader can set a wholesale price to stimulate the supplier's effort. In the absence (presence) of traceability, the payment of wholesale price is based on the realization of the final product's quality (the supplier's individual quality). Interestingly, we find that supply chain traceability may cause a decrease of the supplier's quality effort, thereby reducing the quality of the final product when market competition is sufficiently intensive. Furthermore, traceability weakly increases the supplier's profit but weakly decreases the buyer's profit. However, the total profit of the supply chain can be increased in the presence of traceability.

Inter-Ethnic Conflicts, Counter Raids and Widowhood in North-Eastern Uganda

North-Eastern Uganda is a semi-arid region where inter-ethnic conflicts, cattle raids and violence are common. The nomadic Karamojong are the inhabitants of this region. A typical Karamojong man is socially defined by the number of his wives and cattle. As cattle, sheep, goats and camels are required for the payment of the bridal price, a Karamojong man spends most of his time raiding them in order to acquire more wives. Often, many warriors die in those raids, leaving behind young widows who, by age-old tradition, have to be inherited by the husband’s brother or clan mate. This article discusses the centrality of women, widows and widowhood in the inter-ethnic conflicts, raids and counter- raids that have characterized north-eastern Uganda for centuries. Using a qualitative approach involving key informant’s interviews, we analyzed the series of socio-cultural practices and customary laws that many Karamojong women and widows are subjected to during their struggles for basic needs, human rights, and dignity. The interviews were conducted from March to August 2021 in Karenga, Nakapiripirit and Amudat Districts of Karamoja, and in the suburbs of Mbale and Kampala Cities where a number of Karamojong women now live.

Peer-to-peer energy trading market considering renewable energy uncertainty and participants’ individual preferences

With the development of renewable energy resources, peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading is becoming more and more popular on the user side. However, the prosumers’ uncertain fluctuation and specific preference requirements have brought new challenges to the traditional market mechanism. Therefore, we propose a novel pricing mechanism, including preference marginal price (PMP), uncertainty marginal price (UMP), and local marginal price (LMP) in this paper. These pricing strategies can overcome the uncertainty problems in the current market and credit the reserve resources that ensure flexible energy delivery. We embed these pricing strategies into the robust economic dispatch model and employ a column-and-constraints generation (CCG) algorithm to solve the model. Among these prices, local marginal prices are used to charge energy consumption and financial transmission right (FTR) credits. Uncertainty marginal prices are charged for the reserve resources and financial transmission right holders. Preference marginal prices are charged from the prosumers with specific welfare requirements to credit the reserve resources, financial transmission right holders and energy producers. The market equilibrium and revenue adequacy are proven in the appendix to verify the effectiveness of the proposed pricing mechanism. In the simulation section, the total operation costs and marginal price payments increase with the rise of uncertainty level and preference requirement degree. The financial transmission right underfunding problem is verified in a three-bus system. The underfunding can be covered by congestion funds collected from uncertainty and preference marginal prices.

Palankа administranive structure of the Black Sea Cossack Army

The purpose of the article is to highlight the local problems of the revival of the palanka system, peculiar to the lands of Zaporozhian Sich in the Ochakiv steppe during the stay of the Black Sea Cossack Army. On the basis of the published materials of the State Archive of the Krasnodar Territory and the researches of P. Korolenko, the administrative-territorial structure of the Black Sea Cossack Army during its stay in the Bugo-Dniester borderland (1790-1792) was analyzed and the functional duties of a palanquin colonel were characterized. The lower part of the Ochakiv Steppe, the Bugo-Dniester confluence, during the stay of the Black Sea Cossack Army, was divided into three palanquins – Podnistrian (central), Berezan and Kinburn, headed by palanquin colonels with assistant foremen. The palanka colonel was responsible for the preservation of military property and for increasing the revenues that went to the military treasury. Through the foresters, he protected the military forests, releasing wood to the residents only for building houses; sold part of the fishing factories and sold alcoholic beverages to outsiders with payment of the purchase price to the military treasury, leased free land to "outsiders" for cattle grazing, collected a tax from gypsies who spent the night on military territory, etc. He embodied in the palanquin the power of Kosh, in fact, the power of the Cossack community.

A Truthful Mechanism for Multibase Station Resource Allocation in Metaverse Digital Twin Framework

The concept of the metaverse has gained increasing attention in recent years, and the development of various new technologies, including digital twin technology, has made it possible to see the metaverse coming to pass. Many academics have begun to investigate various problems after realizing the importance of digital twin technology in building the metaverse. However, when utilizing digital twin technology to construct a metaverse, there remains limited research on how to allocate multibase station resources. This research translates a multibase station wireless resource allocation problem into an integer linear programming constraint model when virtual service providers construct a metaverse. In addition, the optimal VCG reverse auction (OPT-VCGRA) mechanism is designed to maximize social welfare and solve the problem of IoT devices competing for base station wireless resources. Specifically, the problem of the optimal allocation of wireless channel resources and payment rule based on the Vickrey–Clarke–Groves mechanism is solved to achieve optimal allocation and calculation of payment prices. Since the optimal allocation problem is NP-hard, this paper also designs a metaverse digital twin resource allocation and pricing (MDTRAP) mechanism based on monotonic allocation and key value theory. The mechanism sends the resource allocation results of multiple base stations to IoT devices and calculates the price payment when building a metaverse in the real world. This paper shows that both auction mechanisms have incentive compatibility and individual rationality properties. Through experiments, this paper compares the two mechanisms in terms of social welfare, the number of winners, and the overall payment. The MDTRAP mechanism performs similarly to the OPT-VCGRA mechanism in terms of social welfare, the number of winners, and channel utilization but is far superior to the OPT-VCGRA mechanism in terms of execution time and total payment. The trustful experiment also verified the truthfulness of the MDTRAP mechanism. The experimental results show that the MDTRAP mechanism can be used to solve the resource allocation problem of multiple base stations to IoT devices when building a metaverse in the real world and can effectively maximize social welfare.

The contribution of social norms and religious practices towards low death registration in 3 HDSS sites of Uganda

BackgroundUganda has low levels of death registration, estimated at two per cent by the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA). There are 56 tribes and over 5 religious denominations with so many social norms and religious practices that could have contributed to low death registration in Uganda. Previous studies on the factors affecting death registration have not assessed the contribution of social norms and religious practices toward low death registration in developing countries.MethodsA qualitative study design was adopted to examine the contribution of social norms and religious practices toward low death registration in the 3 Health and Demographic Surveillance systems (HDSS) sites of Uganda. The methods of data collection included: focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and a document review of the death registration booklet. 6 FGDs, 2 from each HDSS site were conducted comprising 1 female FGD of 10 participants and 1 male FGD of 10 participants. In addition, 26 key informant interviews were conducted with the district leaders, local council leaders, health care workers, cultural leaders, elderly, HDSS scouts and religious leaders in the 3 HDSS sites.ResultsIn the 4 sub-counties and 1 town council where the study was conducted, only 32 deaths were registered with NIRA, the Civil Registration authority in Uganda for the entire year from 1st January to 31st December 2020. The study shows that social norms and religious practices have contributed to the low death registration in the 3 HDSS sites in Uganda. Social norms and religious practices either hinder or discourage death registration initiatives by the government of Uganda. It was found out that burials that take place on the same day of death discourage death registration. Cultural taboo to announcing the death of infants, neonates, twins and suicides in the community hinder death registration. The burying of a woman at her parent's house after bride price payment default by the family of a husband discourages death registration. The religious institutions have their own set of rules, practices, and norms, which in most cases discourage death registration. For example, religious leaders refuse to lead funeral prayers for non-active members in religious activities. Results also showed that mixed religions in families bring about conflicts that undermine death registration. Lastly, results showed that traditionalists do not seek medical treatment in hospitals and this hinders death registration at the health facilities.ConclusionThe study shows that death registration is very low in the 3 HDSS sites in Uganda and that social norms and religious practices contribute greatly to the low death registration. To overcome the negative effects of social norms and religious practices, a social behaviour campaign is proposed. In addition, community dialogue should be conducted to identify all negative social norms and religious practices, how they are perpetuated, their effects, and how they can be renegotiated or eliminated to bring about high death registration in the 3 HDSS sites of Uganda. Lastly, there is a need for partnerships with cultural and religious leaders to sensitize community members on the effect of social norms and religious practices on low death registration in the 3 HDSS sites in Uganda.

Strategi Pemasaran Produk Pembiayaan Murabahah Di BMT Buana Mas Arcawinangun pada Masa Pandemi Covid-19

This study aims to examine the marketing strategy carried out by Baitul Maal Wat Tamwil (BMT) Buana Mas Arcawinangun. The type in this research is field research with a qualitative approach, while the data collection techniques are carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation. For data analysis, descriptive qualitative by describing various reports encountered during the research process. The results of this study indicate that the marketing strategy carried out by BMT Buana Mas Arcawinangun has four strategies, namely the strategy of picking up the ball, targeting Funding Officers, holding a Healthy Walk Event Once a Month (Distributing Brochures), and visiting the Majlis Taklim Association or Recitation. While the application of marketing for murabahah financing products generally adheres to the 4P marketing mix theory, the marketing mix consists of 4Ps, namely: production (product components can be in the form of variety, quality, design, packaging, and form of service), price (price components can be in the form of price quotes, discounts, payment terms, and credit terms), location (location components can be distribution channels), location, inventory, transportation, and logistics) and promotions (promotion components can include advertising, personnel sales, public relations, direct selling, and promotions).
