<![CDATA[Although marital reconciliation has been widely studied from the perspective of Islamic law, studies specifically examining the reconciliation process in Minangkabau culture and its relationship with Islamic marital jurisprudence remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the reconciliation process in Minangkabau culture from the perspective of Islamic marital jurisprudence. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design and a literature review method. Data were obtained through documentation of books, journal articles, research findings, and other relevant written sources and were subsequently analyzed descriptively using deductive reasoning. The findings identified two forms of marital reconciliation in Minangkabau culture: reconciliation through a customary ceremony and reconciliation without a customary ceremony. Reconciliation through a customary ceremony involves niniak mamak and family deliberation and, under certain circumstances, is associated with the bajapuik tradition. Meanwhile, reconciliation without a customary ceremony places greater emphasis on intention, communication between spouses, mutual agreement, and family approval. From the perspective of Islamic marital jurisprudence, the implementation of reconciliation is associated with talak raj‘i, the ‘iddah period, and compliance with Islamic legal provisions. These findings demonstrate the relationship between custom and religion reflected in the principle of Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah. This study concludes that custom can function as a social mechanism supporting the reconciliation process between spouses, provided that its implementation remains consistent with the provisions of Islamic marital jurisprudence. These findings broaden Islamic family law scholarship on the integration of customary norms and religious provisions in reconciliation practices and provide opportunities for field research involving spouses, niniak mamak, religious leaders, and representatives of the Office of Religious Affairs.]]>
