Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal politics of customary law in preserving the Kawin Cai tradition in Maniskidul Village, Kuningan Regency. Kawin Cai is a Sundanese traditional ceremony with a sacred meaning, symbolizing gratitude for water sources and maintaining harmony between humans and nature. In the national legal system, customary law is recognized under Article 18B(2) of the 1945 Constitution; however, its implementation faces challenges due to tourism village policies that lean towards commercialization. This research employs a normative juridical method with a statutory approach and document analysis. The findings indicate that customary law plays a crucial role in maintaining the social and spiritual legitimacy of the Kawin Cai tradition, while local legal politics should serve as an instrument for legal protection rather than merely a tool for tourism development. This study recommends the establishment of more specific regional regulations to ensure the sustainability and authenticity of Kawin Cai in the face of modernization.
