pitla'
Yearly contribution to the imam (one’s parents-in-law or to one’s midwife).
It is normally given during or at the end of the month of fasting. Or else it can be given at the worship time for the month of Hadji'. In former times anything might be given. (In 1997 it was about 50 pesos or 25 to 30 pesos plus rice.) It is considered as a kind of head tax. Mothers with small children pay their pitla' to the midwife until the child is three years of age. Newly married people may give it to their respective parents-in-law. Children may give it to their guru.
