INTRODUCTION

As all of us know, Malaysia is a multiracial country. Malaysia's population comprises many ethnic groups, with the statistics of :

Statistics:

Malay/ Bumiputera = 65%

Chinese = 26%

Indian = 8%

Others = 1%

Our study is mainly on Malay, Chinese and Indian only as it represents the largest ethnic groups in Malaysia. Our main interest is on the wedding ceremony and customs on all the three main races in Malaysia. Besides, we also discussed a little on Orang Asli, Ethnic Sabah and Ethnic Sarawak wedding ceremony. We think that wedding is a beautiful event, attended by many guests, family members and friends. It is also an event that can strengthen up relationship of the family members. Before we discuss further on our study, let us see the some important word glossary we often use in our study.

Glossary:

Wedding : The act or ceremony of marrying; marriage; nuptials.

Marriage : The social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.

All wedding are different of course, but nevertheless they also have many things in common. Besides studying on the wedding ceremony and customs, we also note down some of the important wedding taboos on all ethnic wedding ceremonies. Next, let's see what is the objective of our study?

Objective:

To understand, learn and have better understanding on the wedding history, ceremonies, customs and taboos on various ethnics in Malaysia (Malay, Chinese and Indian).

Every ethnic has their own unique in having their wedding ceremony. All the customs followed in the wedding ceremony was a great and valuable heritage and it should be passed down from generation to generation. The detailed of the wedding ceremony of each ethnic will be discussed below.
