Abstract

The Walagara tradition in Tenggerese weddings in Ngadas Village, Malang Regency, is a form of local wisdom that serves as a customary legalization of marriage. This tradition involves two main elements: the recitation of mantras and the presentation of offerings, understood as a medium of spiritual communication with the gods, water maidens, and ancestral spirits to request safety and blessings for the bride and groom. This study aims to analyze the symbolic meaning of the Walagara tradition and its legal implications from an Islamic legal perspective through an 'urf' approach. The method used is qualitative-descriptive with Clifford Geertz's symbolic-interpretive analysis. The results indicate that the mantras serve as a spiritual medium, recited by traditional shamans in the ancient Tenggerese language, accompanied by offerings containing cosmological meaning. Although the Tenggerese Muslim community continues to participate in this tradition, interpreting it as a form of cultural respect, under Islamic law, this practice is categorized as 'urf fāsid' due to its potential to contain elements of polytheism. Therefore, a wise approach to da'wah is needed to ensure that cultural preservation remains in line with the principles of monotheism.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the premarital counseling program organized by the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama/KUA) of Bululawang District, Malang Regency, in enhancing prospective brides’ and grooms’ knowledge of the concepts of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah in family life. The high divorce rate in Indonesia—reaching 480,618 cases in 2021, with 110 cases recorded in Bululawang District alone in 2022—constitutes the underlying urgency of this research. This study employs a descriptive, qualitative approach using field research methods. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants included the head of the KUA, marriage counselors, program facilitators, and ten pairs of prospective brides and grooms. The findings indicate that: (1) the premarital counseling program at the KUA of Bululawang has been implemented in accordance with the Regulation of the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance (Bimas Islam) Number 379 of 2018, encompassing six core modules delivered using andragogical methods; (2) supporting factors include the availability of instructional modules, the capacity of certified facilitators, and adequate facilities and infrastructure, while inhibiting factors comprise budget constraints, the absence of mandatory participation regulations, and suboptimal participant engagement; (3) overall, the premarital counseling program has proven effective in enhancing both the knowledge and psychological readiness of prospective couples, with the average readiness score reaching 74.65%. This study recommends strengthening regulations to mandate participation in premarital counseling programs and increasing budget allocations for the KUA.
