Abstract

Temporary marriage is not only about surviving the trauma and crisis but also offers the potential to emerge from difficulties due to its ability to provide meaning from past events. This study aims to measure the level of meaning in the life of female victims of temporary marriage in Singkawang, Indonesia, by exploring their experiences as an optimization to generate positive effects on their lives. Employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the research utilizes an inventory technique to investigate the meanings of life experienced by ten respondents. Additionally, in-depth interviews were conducted with five women who had been impacted by temporary marriage in order to delve into their pursuit of a meaningful life, all of whom consented to the intervention. The findings indicate that women often find themselves as victims of temporary marriage at a middle economic level. The pursuit of a purpose in life emerged as a primary concern, surpassing other factors such as spirituality, self-acceptance, materialism, and problem-solving in the quest for life’s meaning. This situation is often hindered by psychological trauma stemming from challenges encountered within the context of temporary marriage. Through introspection and self-acceptance, individuals embarked on a journey of personal growth, gaining insights and heightened awareness that could serve as a form of intervention through social connection, prayer, close relationships, positive behaviors, experiences, and self-motivation. This research provides an understanding of the fact that difficulties or problems in life can have positive implications by motivating the desire to grow from the temporary marriage experience.

Abstract

To address social welfare issues, governments require public participation through philanthropic activities. As philanthropy is often viewed as the domain of the wealthy, many studies focus on elite philanthropy, with only few examining the contributions of the poor. Despite their circumstances, people in poverty have the potential to engage in philanthropic activities. Recent research indicates that individuals experiencing poverty can indeed become philanthropists. This study gathered information from beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan, PKH), a social assistance initiative for poor households in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The findings reveal that philanthropic practices exist among the poor, albeit with distinct characteristics compared to those of the wealthy. Three key differences distinguish the philanthropy of the poor from that of the rich: form, motive, and effectiveness. Wealthy philanthropists typically donate substantial amounts of money or goods, whereas poor philanthropists offer a variety of contributions, including small amounts of money, goods, free assistance, lending household appliances, time, and even prayers. Many scholarly works show that wealthy individuals tend to engage in philanthropy during significant social welfare crises that attract public attention. In contrast, poor philanthropists are active whenever a community member faces social welfare issues. Instead of economic or political incentives, the motives for philanthropic activities among the poor stem from spiritual fervour and communal culture. Although the economic value of their contributions may be minimal, the philanthropy of low-income individuals effectively addresses welfare issues within their communities.
