Abstract

This research explores the tradition of palangkahan money in marriage practices in Nagari Lubuak Batingkok, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. The objective of this study is to examine the cultural and social significance of the tradition, focusing on its role in family relationships and its alignment with Minangkabau customs. A qualitative methodology was employed, using interviews and field observations with local adat leaders, community elders, and knowledgeable informants. The findings reveal that palangkahan money is not just a financial exchange but a symbolic gesture intended to maintain emotional harmony between siblings, particularly when the younger sibling marries before the older one. The amount of palangkahan money is flexible, varying according to family agreements and the economic capabilities of the parties involved. This adaptability is crucial in maintaining the tradition's relevance in modern times. The study concludes that the tradition of palangkahan money plays a significant role in preserving cultural values, fostering mutual respect, and ensuring family harmony. It also highlights the interaction between Minangkabau cultural norms and Islamic teachings, showing how the practice adapts to contemporary religious and social frameworks. The academic contribution of this study lies in offering a nuanced perspective on how local customs persist and evolve within the context of modern social dynamics. The research also underscores the importance of qualitative fieldwork in capturing the lived experiences of individuals within a specific cultural context.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools are Islamic educational institutions in the form of dormitories where students' activities are carried out under the guidance and supervision of mentors who are supposed to play an important role in instilling religious values so that students can comply with the legal norms that apply to them. However, behind the image of Islamic boarding schools as places of spiritual development, reports of sexual violence have raised public concern because they are committed by people who have the authority to educate and protect students. This occurs because the perpetrators wield power, making it easy for them to intimidate their victims. Sexual violence in religious educational environments is often hidden and goes unreported because it is committed by people with strong power structures. This issue is important and very complex because it can lead to violations of Islamic legal norms. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes the experiences of victims and the response of institutions to violations that have occurred. The results of the study show that unchecked power can create an environment that encourages sexual violence. This is evidenced by the fact that the perpetrators were immoral teachers and dormitory supervisors who held positions of power at the Islamic boarding school, making it impossible for the victims to avoid or even reject them. This study is expected to provide insights into the need for policy reform and increased awareness to protect victims, as well as the enforcement of existing legal norms

Abstract

This study was motivated by the practice of polygamy without legal procedures. This “siri” polygamy is practiced to avoid the complex polygamy authorization procedures stipulated by law, such as the wife’s consent and court approval. Consequently, this leads to uncertainty regarding the legal status of the second wife, as well as limited access for children to civil rights such as birth certificates and recognition of parentage. This study is a field study using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation and interviews with traditional leaders, religious leaders, practitioners, and community members. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive, deductive, and comparative methods. The results indicate that the practice of “siri” polygamy in Nagari Lawang fundamentally takes into account not only religious provisions but also the customary norms and procedures in effect within the community. However, in practice, instances of “siri” polygamy are still carried out without following these customary procedures. For those who fail to comply with customary requirements, the community of Nagari Lawang imposes social and moral sanctions, such as a reprimand from the ninik mamak, a summons to a community meeting, the obligation to apologize to the aggrieved party, and a customary fine in the form of a monetary amount determined by the aggrieved party or the sacrifice of one cow. From the perspective of Islamic criminal law, secret polygamy is not classified as a crime subject to hudud or qishash penalties provided that it fulfills the essential elements and requirements of marriage. However, the practice of secret polygamy that causes harm and violates government regulations may be subject to ta’zir penalties as a means of protecting the public interest.
