The Karim Lek Courtship Tradition of the Upper Simbu
ARNOLD MUNDUA
An entry in the Crocodile Prize - Cleland Family Award for Heritage Writing 🇵🇬
KARIM LEK was a courtship custom in the Upper Simbu where young people met in the night to sit, share and express love, joy and affection through exchanges of serenades and courtship songs known as giglange-kaugo.
Commonly known as kumugl-ambai-kaugo, the practise was popular throughout.
Commonly known as kumugl-ambai-kaugo, the practise was popular throughout Simbu and extended to bordering areas including Minj, Banz, Nodugl and Jimi in Jiwaka Province.
There were three types of karim lek popular in Upper Simbu: the kua-nade, where participants exceeded more than 20; the gilange-kaugo, where participants numbered more than five but less than 10 with the number of boys exceeding that of the girls; and the most intimate of all, the kumugl-ambai-kaugo, where the participants comprised mostly affectionate partners numbering to less than four (two boys, two girls) or just a boy and a girl.
While the latter two (giglange-kaugo and kumugl-ambai-kaugo) took place in the privacy of the girl’s homes all year round, the kua-nande was an occasional event held once or twice in a year at the special invitation of a host clan.
