About the rite
Among the M’nông of Đắk Lắk, Vietnam, T’nơm pay sur bong recognizes young people, often around sixteen to twenty, as adults eligible for marriage. Elders teach them about their responsibilities. Earlier practices involving bodily modification have been simplified.
A ceremony was reported in 2017. Research published in 2021 includes interviews from 2020, and provincial teaching materials describe the rite in 2025.
