Mandailing People
The Mandailing is an ethnic group in Sumatera, Indonesia that is commonly associated with the Batak people. They are found mainly in the northern section of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. They came under the influence of the Kaum Padri who ruled the Minangkabau of Tanah Datar. As a result, the Mandailing were influenced by Muslim culture and converted to Islam. There are also a group of Mandailing in Malaysia, especially in the states of Selangor and Perak. They are closely related to the Angkola. Etymology The etymology of 'Mandailing' is said to be a compounding of the words ''mande'', meaning 'mother', and ''hilang'', meaning 'lost'. Thus, the name is said to mean "lost mother".

Islamic Marital Practices
Muslim marriage and Islamic wedding customs are traditions and practices that relate to wedding ceremonies and marriage rituals prevailing within the Muslim world. Although Islamic marriage customs and relations vary depending on country of origin and government regulations, both Muslim men and women from around the world are guided by Islamic laws and practices specified in the Quran. According to the teachings of the Quran, a married Muslim couple is equated with clothing. Within this context, both husband and wife are each other's protector and comforter, just as real garments “show and conceal” the body of human beings. Thus, they are meant “for one another”.Assadullah, Mir MohmmedWeddings in Islam zawaj.com The Quran continues to discuss the matter of marriage and states, "And among His Signs is this, that he created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts]…".

Marga (Batak)
Marga is a term in Batak societies referring to a clan name. The term is derived either from the Sanskrit ''varga'', meaning company, party, or group, or, more likely, from the Sanskrit ''marga'', meaning 'road, way or path', referring to a people of 'one origin'. Batak ''marga'' are patrilineal. Marriage in the same ''marga'' is strictly forbidden by tribal law ( adat) even between people only distantly related; but it is allowed and often even arranged between cousins of the maternal line (''boru''). After marriage, Batak women do not change their family (''marga'') name, but add "boru" to their birth name. Since Batak ''marga'' are patrilineal, the children will inherit the ''marga'' from their father. In Batak Toba mythology, ''marga'' are traced to the common ancestor "Si Raja Batak" (The King of the Batak). In Karo mythology, the five ''marga'' (Merga Silima) are defined in terms of matrimonial bonds, with no importance placed on a common ancestor myth. Simalungun people ha ...

They asked for the help of the Dutch, who intervened in 1821 and helped the nobility defeat the Padri faction.
