Abstract

Agreements have different characteristics between customary and civil law, based on the principles of kinship, balance, and communal justice. A form of agreement that remains practiced among indigenous community is land pawning, known as pasanra in Kajang community. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze pawn agreements from the perspective of customary law by focusing on the implementation of customary law principles, such as the principle of togetherness, trust, balance, and justice. A juridical-sociological method was adopted by combining normative studies of customary law and empirical practices in Kajang community. The results showed that pawn agreement in Kajang community was not just a contractual relationship, but a means of maintaining social solidarity and the sustainability of community life. Its enactment was based on consensus and customary recognition, where religio-magical values also influenced the legal process and consequences. These results confirmed that the principles of customary law remained relevant in treaty practice, as well as evidence of the flexibility and resilience in dealing with the development of national law.
