Abstract

Engganese are a community that adapts well to change. They can anticipate social, political, and economic changes around them by using Engganese customs as a guide. This article aims to describe the adaptation strategies and intercultural communication between the Engganese and migrants (kaamay) to reduce the potential conflict. This study integrates Young Yun Kim’s Integrative Communication Theory to analyze the process of migrants' deculturation, and Larry Samovar’s concept of High-Context Communication to explain the power of customary rules as a singular guide to life. This study employs a qualitative method through observation and in-depth interviews with Engganese community leaders and migrants. The findings reveal that the Engganese engage in three forms of adaptation: 1) forming kaamay as a form of cultural strategy; 2) using Bahasa as a tool for communication with kaamay; and 3) engaging in intermarriage for social integration. These findings indicate that the Engganese, as a minority group, have successfully demonstrated cultural dominance by preserving Engganese customs and compelling the Kaamay to relinquish their cultural identities and conform to Engganese customs.

Abstract

The early marriage controversy is a significant issue that affects people's views regarding marriage within the framework of Islamic religious doctrine and customs in Indonesia. This article examines how Islamic law adapts in response to socio-cultural changes, especially in regions with Muslim minority populations, which have mixed interpretations of the age of marriage. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection through news and literature relevant to the keyword "Early marriage controversy in Indonesia." The analysis was carried out inductively to identify the forms, factors, and impacts of early marriage controversies on the lives of young couples, both from the perspective of health, quality of life, and religious and cultural norms. The results of the study show that this controversy reflects the challenges of integrating Islamic religious doctrine with local customary values, creating both positive and negative consequences for couples who marry young. In the context of Muslim minorities, this article recommends a flexible and responsive approach to Islamic law to socio-cultural dynamics, in order to achieve a balance between religious norms and the social needs of diverse communities.
