Abstract

The right to get a decent place to live is the right of every person, including the sea people. Therefore, the local government builds houses and moves the sea people from living on boats and nomads to houses. The problem is that living in a house has changed their culture, which usually lives a nomadic life at sea. The purpose of this study is first to analyze the accuracy of the local government’s steps. Second, to analyze the right legal solution in providing decent housing for the sea people. The method in this study is empirical juridical. The type of data used is primary data, namely observations and interviews, and secondary data, namely laws and regulations. In addressing the formulation of the problem in this study, the legal and theoretical basis is the Progressive Legal Theory. The results of the study indicate that the steps taken by the local government in providing physical housing and legalizing the houses are good, but not right, because they have changed the culture of the sea people. A house is a manifestation of a group’s culture, so moving the sea people into houses not only changes their culture but also their lifestyle and work patterns. Therefore, the legal solution is to establish a halfway house with an empowerment program for the sea people, which can be regulated under the Lingga, Indonesia regional regulation. Then it is also necessary to form a law that specifically regulates indigenous peoples to accommodate the traditional rights of indigenous peoples.

Abstract

Introduction: This article examines the normative tension between state law and customary law in regulating child marriage practices within indigenous communities. In the Indonesian legal system, marriage is regulated through a formal legal framework emphasizing legal certainty and protection, while customary practices are rooted in communal values, traditions, and unwritten norms. Within the perspective of legal pluralism, the coexistence of these legal systems often creates challenges in terms of effectiveness, compliance, and social legitimacy. Purposes of the Research: The purpose of this research is to analyze the application of legal positivism and natural law theory in social engineering toward child marriage practices in indigenous communities, as well as to formulate an appropriate approach for addressing such practices within the framework of Indonesian law. Methods of the Research: This research employs a normative juridical method using statute and conceptual approaches. Legal materials consist of primary sources such as legislation and secondary sources including legal doctrines and scholarly writings related to customary law, marriage law, and legal theory. Results of the Research: The findings reveal that the persistence of child marriage in indigenous communities reflects a normative tension between the formal validity of state law and the moral legitimacy of customary law. Neither legal positivism nor natural law independently provides an adequate solution. Instead, an integrative approach based on Roscoe Pound's concept of law as social engineering, supported by legal positivism and natural law, offers a more effective framework for promoting legal reform while respecting indigenous cultural values. This study contributes to the literature by proposing an integrated analytical framework that bridges legal certainty, moral legitimacy, and participatory social transformation in legally pluralistic societies.
