Marriage in Indonesia is not only regulated by positive law, but also influenced by customary values, such as the tradition of uang panai in the Bugis community in Limpomajang which functions as a form of respect and responsibility for the prospective groom. This research uses a normative juridical method with an analytical descriptive approach to examine the existence of uang panai in the national legal system. The results show that uang panai is part of customary law that remains recognized as long as it does not conflict with laws and regulations and the principle of public order. Therefore, proper understanding from the community and legal apparatus is needed to accommodate customary elements within the framework of national law.
