In Yandang people's culture, just like other African cultures, parental consent is the most important thing.

If the parents accepts the Mou, then they have consented to the proposal and If otherwise, they have rejected the proposal.After the consent of the lady's parent, the fiancé is expected to bring his family to see the lady's parent and to also discuss the issue "hinlengki"and "wah-konag" which are the bride price and the building of a hut for the mother in law or the payment of equivalent price. There are other things required for the marriage like yams, beer, guinea corn, hoes, “kansuki, a fully grown ram and two he-goats.
