Abstract

This study analyzes the shifting understanding of the Kelo Fomate tradition—a stage in the customary marriage rites of the Oenames and Kaesmetan tribes in Oepoli, a border region between Indonesia and East Timor—which is intended to preserve the sanctity of the marital bond. The main issue examined is the fading of the educational and essential values of this tradition in modern society. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, this study discusses field data in relation to theological concepts of marriage. The results of the analysis indicate a decline in public understanding, as evidenced by the widespread phenomenon of young couples living together (kumpul kebo) and even having children before their union is legally recognized under customary and religious law. A discussion of the data and theory concludes that the shift in the values of the Kelo Fomate tradition has direct implications for the decline in the community’s awareness of and appreciation for the sanctity of marriage as a sacrament.

Abstract

This study was motivated by a shift in public understanding of the *weda rewa tuke mbaru* ritual, which is often regarded as the complete validation of marriage, leading some couples to live together before receiving the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage. This study aims to examine the meaning of the *weda rewa tuke mbaru* ritual, identify the factors causing misconceptions about it, and analyze its relevance to Christian values and Catholic family life. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through structured interviews and documentation involving 11 informants, including a priest, traditional elders, the station leader, the Basic Ecclesial Community (KUB) leader, married couples, and a catechist at St. Francis Xavier Station, Maras. The findings indicate that the *weda rewa tuke mbaru* ritual symbolizes respect for women and their families, serves as formal recognition of the relationship between the bride and groom, and functions as a social and moral bond within the Manggarai customary marriage tradition. The ritual also reflects the values of fidelity, responsibility, and togetherness, which are consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage. However, misconceptions remain, as some people consider the ritual sufficient justification for cohabitation without receiving the sacrament. These misconceptions are influenced by limited religious understanding, modernization, and inadequate pastoral guidance. The study concludes that the ritual remains relevant when understood as a customary tradition that supports, rather than replaces, the Catholic Sacrament of Marriage.
