Abstract

This study examines the meaning and function of the Marhata Sinamot tradition in Batak Toba customary marriage and its relationship with Catholic teaching within the framework of the sociology of religion. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature study, it draws on the thought of Durkheim, Weber, Marx, and Berger, as well as Church documents on inculturation. The findings show that Marhata Sinamot functions as a rite that reinforces social integration and kinship cohesion (Durkheim), and reflects actions driven by moral values and family social status (Weber). From Marx’s perspective, sinamot maintains economic relations and resource distribution patterns, while Berger highlights its role in shaping the social construction of reality that provides symbolic legitimacy to kinship structures. Although recognizing positive values such as respect for women’s dignity, family responsibility, and social solidarity, the Catholic Church emphasizes that sinamot does not determine the validity of the sacrament of marriage. The study concludes that Marhata Sinamot remains culturally and religiously relevant when practiced proportionally in line with Church teaching. Recommendations include pre-marital catechesis, dialogue with customary leaders, inculturated liturgical guidelines, and family economic empowerment to support faith formation and the preservation of Batak Toba cultural identity in modern society.

Abstract

This study specifically aims to investigate how Catholic families in Long Bagun, Mahakam Hulu Regency, East Kalimantan Province, interpret, adapt, and apply the principles of Christian moral sexuality education prescribed by Familiaris Consortio (FC) within the framework of Dayak local wisdom, in order to identify culturally grounded pedagogical strategies that support family-based catechesis and moral formation. This study employed a qualitative case study with an ethnographic approach, collecting data through in-depth semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and informal observations from December 2024 to April 2025, and analyzing them using thematic analysis to identify patterns of how Catholic families integrate Christian moral sexuality education with Dayak local wisdom. Findings reveal that the Church’s core principles of open, gradual, and integral formation are conveyed less through formal texts and more through culturally resonant pedagogies such as storytelling, exemplary living (teladan), communal practices of gotong royong, respect for elders, and the social moral grammar of malu. The Dayak sacred understanding of the body and nature serves as a bridge to Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, reframing chastity as stewardship of a God-given “field” (ladang) entrusted to each person for the good of family and community. Parents creatively address cultural taboos and the challenges of digital media by embedding moral conversations in daily routines and community rituals, positioning the village as co-educator and the family as a vibrant “domestic church.” The study contributes to faith education by offering culturally grounded strategies for family catechesis based on local narratives, inculturated modules in marriage preparation, and peer learning groups for parents to strengthen policy and program design in multicultural Catholic education.
