Initially Tjoet Meutia opposed the Dutch with her husband Teuku Muhammad or Teuku Tjik Tunong. But in March of 1905, Tjik Tunong was captured by the Dutch and executed by the coast of Lhokseumawe. Before his death, Teuku Tjik Tunong advised his friend Pang Nagroe to marry his wife and take care of his son Teuku Raja Sabi.
