The following sentence is from a comedy tape sold in
Aceh. Upon hearing the story from a comedian, acting as a
stupid young man who had just got married, saying that he
had never slept with his wife since they got married because
his mother-in-law did not want her to sleep with him,
another comedian responded by telling him not to be stupid.
He told him that a wife should sleep with her husband. Since
'sleeping with her husband' that the man said is the rule of
marriage, not what a wife likes or does not like to do, the
verb is used without a proclitic.
