It was only when her suitor spoke into a translation app on his phone that she understood the situation.
The woman quickly responded with a simple “no” and waved in denial.

As it turns out, the woman is a content creator known as Rumsyah from the Baduy tribe in Banten, Indonesia.
With 35,000 followers on Facebook and 113,000 followers on Instagram, the influencer posts about her tribe’s daily life and culture.
It was later revealed that her rejection was due to cultural traditions rather than any personal dislike.
Addressing the encounter in another video posted on 1 Oct, Rumsyah clarified that many women in her community choose to marry within their own tribe.
Netizens provide more information about Baduy culture
Following the clip, some netizens took the chance to share their knowledge about the woman’s culture.
One netizen said that proposing to women from the Baduy tribe is a challenge even for other Indonesian ethnic groups.
However, they admired the vlogger for his “amazing” effort.
