Divorce that occurs due to couples who are not physically and mentally ready, so that the divorce rate in Kabalutan Village increases, triggers Kabalutan Village to be known as Kampung Janda. However, in recent years, based on the results of deliberations between community leaders and traditional leaders, the sanctions were later changed to sanctions for lifting stones (baka batu) of at least 2 cubic meters. These sanctions make people afraid of violating them and these sanctions are very effective in reducing the number of widows, especially widows at a young age. This paper uses a juridical-empirical research method, the conclusion of this paper is that the nickname of the widow’s village in Kablutan Village, Central Sulawesi is the impact of a living and developing tradition, namely by sanctioning direct marriage of male and female couples who are found alone at 12 o’clock at night.
