Abstract

This article examines the concept of Abu di Ateh Tunggua as a relational framework for understanding male position within the Minangkabau matrilineal kinship system. The role of the sumando has frequently been interpreted as a symbol of fragility or marginal status within customary structures. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach and conceptual analysis of customary norms, proverbial expressions, and the sumando typology, this study argues that Abu di Ateh Tunggua functions as an ethical metaphor that signifies responsibility, prudence, and relational awareness rather than structural subordination. In the Minangkabau context, men are not vested with proprietary authority within the wife’s lineage; instead, their legitimacy is grounded in moral obligations toward the nuclear family and the broader kin network. The article further identifies transformations in male roles in response to urbanization, education, and migration, highlighting ongoing negotiations between customary values and contemporary social change. These findings contribute to discussions of masculinity in matrilineal societies by demonstrating that authority may be constructed through social responsibility and collective recognition rather than ownership. The study underscores the importance of interpreting cultural expressions as analytical tools for examining power relations within indigenous kinship systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze kato malereng as a form of indirect speech ethics in maintaining dignity and social hierarchy within Minangkabau society. In Minangkabau culture, language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a system of values that regulates social relationships and preserves community harmony. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a library research method to examine cultural communication practices within the kato nan ampek system. Data were collected through the analysis of relevant literature on communication ethics, cultural values, and the social structure of Minangkabau society and were analyzed using descriptive-interpretative techniques to identify the forms, functions, and social meanings of kato malereng. The findings indicate that kato malereng functions as a cultural communication mechanism that preserves dignity, prevents conflict, and strengthens social cohesion through the use of figurative and polite language. Despite adjustments in modern communication contexts, the values of politeness and respect embedded in kato malereng remain relevant as communication guidelines. Therefore, kato malereng represents a form of local wisdom that contributes to the preservation of cultural values and social stability in contemporary society.
