Abstract

Sumba Island  holds  a lot of    local wisdom.  One of  the  local wisdom is  Piti Maranggangu. Piti Maranggangu  is a catch / take in meetings  that often occur in public places or public places, such as in traditional markets, places of customs activities (traditional parties), on the street, at home and even planted. The purpose  of  this  study  was  to find out  and  understand  Piti Maranggangu from the point of view    of Customary  Law  and  Law  No. 1 of 1974  on   marriage. The type of  research   used  is  socio-legal  research with a research  location  in Sumba Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The results    showed  that  Piti Mara interfered with a review of the principles of customary law that  piti maranggangu practices are recognized in the sumba island community and is a form of honest exogamous mating mating system.   Referred to as honest exogamy because the edited woman has been positioned as a surrogate  in  the clan. While  Piti Maranggangu  in the perspective of Law No. 1 of 1974 can be concluded that there are 2 (two) conditions violated in the marriage process, namely substantive conditions that there is no consent from the bride, then the age of the edited bride is  underage  (under  19 years). As a result of violating these substantive conditions,  Piti Maranggangu  can legally be void by law.
