Abstract

This paper aims to understand duality of Minangkabau marriage. The results of the research indicates that the decision making process which proceed a marriage are not fully determined by the adaik’s norms, but also being influenced by “politics of marriage” of the actor and kinship members who are to be interwoven in the proposed extended family. The decision making process proceeding marriages in Minangkabau is essentially a synthesis of adaik, which permits certain cultural liberties to actor and family members who will then be part of the extended family.

Abstract

Minangkabau is widely known for its matrilineal system. One of the matrilineal values is the man (sumando) that positioned as marginal. Sumando is a stranger in his wife's family, as shown in the traditional proverb saying like ashes on the stump (seperti abu di atas tunggul). This position is not profitable, so they have to negotiate with the woman as a "ruler" to strengthen their "masculine identity". This article argues that pig hunting is a media of the identity politics of Minangkabau’s men in establishing and strengthening their identity in the domination matriarchal of the Minangkabau.
