    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the past, it was common for Peranakan couples to be match made. This means that their marriages were arranged by their families or matchmakers, rather than being based on personal choice or love.

Matchmaking was seen as a way to ensure compatibility, maintain social and cultural traditions, and strengthen family alliances. Therefore, the statement "True" accurately reflects the historical practice of match making among Peranakan couples.

This is because Peranakan weddings are known for their elaborate and detailed ceremonies, which involve various rituals and traditions that are spread out over a period of 12 days. These ceremonies include the exchange of gifts, the hosting of feasts, the performance of cultural dances and songs, and the honoring of ancestors. The 12-day duration allows for all these rituals to be properly conducted and celebrated, making it a significant and memorable event in Peranakan culture.

    • True

    • False

    Peranakan bridal chambers do not all look the same. The Peranakan culture is a blend of Chinese, Malay, and Indonesian influences, and their bridal chambers reflect this diversity. Each chamber is typically adorned with intricate decorations, vibrant colors, and unique cultural elements that vary depending on the region and the families involved. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that all Peranakan bridal chambers look the same.
