Islamic law perspective on the bajo indigenous people's marriage tradition in Adonara village

Abstract

Even though the tradition is followed, customary cultural traditions in the execution of marriage procedures are a type of habit ingrained and attached to traditional norms, social values, and community personality values in social life with specific sacred values that are permanent and difficult to change. In addition, they have their methods that they have used from generation to generation. This relationship is essential to explore, as it provides insights into how cultural traditions can intersect with religious beliefs and practices. By examining the Bajo marital practices in the context of Islamic law, this study aims to shed light on the compatibility of these practices with Islamic principles. However, when these procedures are considered from the perspective of religious teachings, it raises several issues about whether they align with these teachings. This paper investigates the traditional Bajo marital practices in light of Islamic law. The methods of observation, interviews, and documentation will all be managed to utilize a qualitative methodology system using procedures to acquire accurate and comprehensive data and information supporting this writing. The findings of this study include several practices that do not go against Islamic religious principles, such as Masuro/Gau ala '(application), the procedure of enforcing the marriage contract (ijab kabul), and punishing men who enter into Gau Raha'/slayyang marriages (eloping).
