Abstract

This study explores the practice of hibah (grants) in the Betawi community of Pondok Pinang and its potential role in preventing family conflicts. Using a qualitative case study with a sociological approach, the research applies John W. Burton’s conflict resolution theory, which emphasizes mediation, along with the al-sulḥ wa al-taḥkīm method as mechanisms for resolving disputes. Findings reveal that hibah in this community is more than a traditional custom; it functions as a social tool with three main purposes: (1) ensuring the family’s future and harmony, (2) preventing inheritance disputes that could divide the family, and (3) preserving family values. Thus, hibah is both a means of wealth distribution and a reflection of family dynamics. The study highlight hibah as an alternative to avoid inheritance conflicts. However, hibah often leads to disputes. While heirs have the right to manage inherited assets, violations of Indonesian hibah regulations can trigger conflicts. This research concludes that hibah, if managed according to legal and cultural principles, can be an effective instrument for maintaining family unity. Penelitian ini mengkaji praktik hibah pada masyarakat Betawi di Pondok Pinang serta perannya dalam mencegah konflik keluarga. Menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan studi kasus dan pendekatan sosiologis, penelitian ini menerapkan teori resolusi konflik John W. Burton yang menekankan mediasi, serta metode al- sulḥ wa al-taḥkīm sebagai mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hibah di masyarakat ini bukan sekadar tradisi, tetapi telah berkembang menjadi instrumen sosial dengan tiga tujuan utama: (1) menjamin masa depan dan keharmonisan keluarga, (2) mencegah sengketa warisan yang dapat memecah belah keluarga, dan (3) mempertahankan nilai-nilai keluarga. Dengan demikian, hibah tidak hanya menjadi sarana pembagian harta, tetapi juga mencerminkan dinamika hubungan keluarga. Penelitian ini menilai hibah sebagai alternatif untuk menghindari konflik warisan. Namun, penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa hibah sering memicu perselisihan. Meskipun ahli waris memiliki hak mengelola harta yang diterima, pelanggaran terhadap ketentuan hibah di Indonesia dapat memicu konflik. Kesimpulannya, hibah yang dikelola sesuai aturan hukum dan budaya berpotensi menjadi sarana efektif untuk menjaga persatuan keluarga.

Abstract

Sundrang, a customary prestation given by the groom's side to the bride's family before the marriage contract, remains an important expression of respect and family identity among the Bugis-Makassar community in Masalembu. This study examines the authority of the bride's family in determining Sundrang and the limits of that authority when the prestation becomes connected to the guardian's consent. Using a qualitative, normative-sociological case-study approach, the study draws on interviews with twelve purposively selected informants in Masalima Village, Masalembu. The findings show that Sundrang is distinct from mahr and is determined through family deliberation, but a socially circulating benchmark of approximately IDR 20–30 million increasingly influences expectations. Under Bugis-Makassar customary law, the bride's family has a legitimate role in determining Sundrang insofar as the practice serves the customary purposes associated with Pangadareng and Siri'. That authority becomes difficult to justify when Sundrang functions primarily as a prestige measure, causes substantial economic pressure, postpones or prevents a marriage, or is used as an indirect means of refusal. From the perspective of fiqh al-munakahat, Sundrang is not a requirement for the validity of marriage. Accordingly, a guardian's withholding of consent solely because Sundrang has not been fulfilled, absent another recognised Islamic ground for refusal, may substantively fall within the concept of wali adhal; any formal transfer of guardianship to a wali hakim remains subject to the procedure prescribed by Indonesian law. The study concludes that the continuity of Sundrang depends on maintaining its customary function without turning it into an independent condition for marriage or guardian consent.
