Abstract

This research investigates the "Bales nae" tradition within the Sasak community in Lombok, Indonesia. Bales nae is an essential post-wedding ritual where the groom's family visits the bride's family following the merariq ceremonies. This tradition aims to strengthen family bonds, foster mutual respect, and preserve cultural heritage. Using a socio-legal approach and theories from Émile Durkheim and Maqashid Sharia, this qualitative study explores the reasons why the Sasak community maintains this tradition. Data were collected through observation and interviews with 12 key informants, including community members, traditional leaders, and families who have practised Bales nae. The research findings reveal that Bales nae functions to introduce and strengthen relationships among extended families, enhance social cohesion, and preserve cultural heritage. Durkheim's functionalism theory highlights the role of Bales nae in social stability and solidarity, while Maqashid Sharia emphasizes its contribution to preserving religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. This tradition, with its rich symbolic meaning, underscores the importance of maintaining cultural practices amid modern influences. The study concludes that Bales nae is crucial for reinforcing family and social structures, reflecting the profound significance of traditional rituals within the Sasak community.

Abstract

This article investigates violations of women’s rights stemming from the practice of kawin magrib, a form of forced marriage, within the Sasak Muslim community in Lombok, Indonesia. Despite its inherently gender-discriminatory nature, the kawin magrib tradition remains a fundamental aspect of Sasak Muslims’ identity and societal structure. Employing a socio-legal approach and conducting in-depth interviews with nine key informants, this study delves into the persistent reasons behind this tradition and its repercussions on women’s rights. The authors found that the primary objective of kawin magrib is to uphold the moral standards of the younger generation within religious norms. However, the profound adverse effects on women cannot be disregarded. This article highlights the severe psychological trauma endured by women due to this customary law and the potential for men to exploit this tradition deceptively, marrying women without genuine consent. Based on these findings, the article underscores the urgent necessity of reforming this practice, with a strong focus on safeguarding women’s rights and promoting gender equality.
