Abstract

Minangkabau’s Adat law has developed for centuries. In its development, Minangkabau’s Adat law has given significant contributions to the dynamics and the continuity of Minangkabau’s society. Minangkabau’s society is matrilineal; it is not patriarchal in which the chief of a clan is always a man. In matrilineal, the women of the clan will be the chief and they can sack men if they do not do a good job. This paper studies first, what the types of Minangkabau’s Adat laws are reflected in the novel; second, how the implementations of Minangkabau’s Adat laws are in the novel. This study focuses on the analysis of Minangkabau’s Adat law reflected in Abdulkarim Khiratullah’s novel Mencari Cinta yang Hilang. As the research design is very crucial to conducting a research, this study applied descriptive qualitative research as its research design. It is important to carry out this research because it has fascinated many researchers due to the co-existence of contradictory elements with Islamic regulation like matrilineal family structure, marriage system and inheritance regulations.

Abstract

This study investigates the fulfillment of children’s rights in blended families within Indonesia’s plural legal context. It addresses three main questions: how plural legal frameworks construct the identity and rights of children in blended families, how biological assumptions embedded in statutory and religious laws limit children’s access to consistent caregiving, and how a child-centered approach can reshape legal pluralism to provide inclusive protection. Employing a qualitative socio-legal methodology, the research integrates doctrinal legal analysis with empirical data from semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis in five blended households in Kandangan Village, East Java. The findings show that legal definitions privileging biological lineage restrict children’s access to care, identity, and inheritance when provided by non-biological caregivers. At the same time, community-based forums such as musyawarah desa offer adaptive mechanisms that safeguard children’s welfare by validating caregiving roles beyond biological ties. Comparative insights from plural legal contexts highlight the potential of incorporating caregiving capacity and emotional bonds into formal legal frameworks to ensure the protection of children’s rights. The study concludes that advancing a child-centered legal pluralism in Indonesia requires harmonizing statutory, Islamic, and customary laws to reflect contemporary family structures while consistently prioritizing children’s rights. Its contribution lies in offering a relational and locally grounded framework for family law reform, while also identifying the limitations of single-site, small-scale research and suggesting future studies across regions and using quantitative approaches.
