Abstract

This research is motivated by the existence of the practice of marriage series in the Makmur Village community, Gambut Banjar District, South Borneo. The procession of a marriage contract at a series of marriages conducted by the people of Makmur Village was carried out without the attendance of the Registrar of Marriage and the knowledge of the Religious Affairs Office (KUA). Even so, it turned out that after the marriage contract took place it was held at Siri marriage. This research is empirical legal research which is a case study, using a qualitative approach. The author delves into the data needed by conducting in-depth interviews with the subject under study. The findings of this study are that the marriage of Siri which is practiced by the people of Desa Makmur is held like the official marriage ceremony. Walimah was held openly by inviting family and surrounding communities. Holding a Siri marriage is an act that is usually done, therefore if Siri marriage is done continuously it will result in more siri marriages occurring in the community, especially in Makmur Village.
