Abstract

This study intends to explore the socio-cultural construction of island communities in South Sulawesi that fosters the tradition of bunting lolo (child marriage), including the influencing factors and its dialectic with the state and Islamic law. A critical ethnographic method was adopted with the island communities as the research subject, while the culture and practice of bunting lolo constitute the units of analysis. Data were collected from the communities of Kodingareng (Makassar City) and Badi (Pangkajene Islands Regency) island, both part of the Spermonde Islands. The result showed that the practice of bunting lolo has become a tradition based on social, cultural, economic, and religious constructs. In the contemporary context, bunting lolo is a solution to 'balerek' or promiscuity among adolescents, both boys and girls. This practice conflicts with the minimum marriage age regulation of 19 years stated in Marriage Law No. 16 of 2019. Consequently, bunting lolo manifests the dialectic between state, Islamic law, and local culture in marriage practices within the island communities in which state regulation is found to be less considered than the other two.

Abstract

This article delves into the resurgence of a banned group, Gafatar, in Palopo City. The group was officially banned by the government in 2016. The resurgence of this movement was known to the public when a video featuring the pledge of allegiance or baiat by three religious college students in Palopo City on November 9, 2020, went viral. The research employed a fact-finding method to uncover the details and underlying issues surrounding this pledge of allegiance. The research primarily focuses on establishing the timeline of events related to the pledge and identifying the religious group responsible for the incident. This study found the involvement of the ex-Gafatar group in the video, as the figures have beliefs and teachings similar to those of the group. This indicates that, despite being banned, the Gafatar group remains active in disseminating its beliefs and recruiting new members. The resurgence of Gafatar's activities poses a significant risk of triggering socio-religious issues within society, necessitating swift responses from relevant authorities.
