About the rite
After menarche, a girl may be received with prayer and religious recitation, dressed in traditional clothing and kain kapit, and presented before relatives. A Universiti Brunei Darussalam researcher observed ceremonies for three girls in February 2002 and recorded the clothing as part of recognition of a new stage and its responsibilities.
The three observed cases do not establish that every Brunei Malay family follows an identical form.
