Abstract

This study investigates the application of traditional cultural values embedded in the walasuji symbol within the wedding ceremonies of the Bugis ethnic group, particularly in the Parepare City area. Originally referring to a diamond-shaped protective fence, walasuji has evolved in meaning to become a fruit basket presented as part of the ritual. This tradition is replete with symbols that express noble principles such as loyalty, harmony, responsibility, respect for customary norms, and dedication in establishing a family. However, the philosophical essence of walasuji is increasingly overlooked and viewed merely as a routine procedure in wedding events. This research employs a qualitative sociological approach, utilizing techniques of direct observation, in-depth interviews, and documentary data collection. The findings reveal that the implementation of walasuji values not only strengthens the bond between spouses but also plays a crucial role in preserving local wisdom and Bugis cultural identity. Therefore, it is essential to enhance understanding of the walasuji symbol so that future generations can inherit the noble principles contained within it.

Abstract

Family disputes are common in rural communities and are generally resolved through non-litigation mechanisms that emphasize deliberation and family values. This study examines the role of the Village Head in mediating family disputes in Polewali Village, Pinrang Regency, by employing Lawrence M. Friedman’s legal system theory as an analytical framework. A qualitative approach was adopted, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving village officials, community leaders, and individuals who had experienced family disputes. The findings show that the effectiveness of mediation is supported by three elements of the legal system: legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture. The legal structure is reflected in the Village Head’s authority and social position, which enable him to gain public trust as a mediator. Legal substance is manifested in the integration of formal legal norms, customary values, and the principles of Islamic family law that guide the mediation process. Meanwhile, legal culture is evident in the community’s strong commitment to deliberation and its preference for peaceful settlement of family disputes. The mediation practices in Polewali Village demonstrate that law operates not only through formal rules but also through social values that are continuously maintained and observed within the community
