<![CDATA[The myth about the taboo of marriage between the residents of Sepande Village and Banjarpoh Hamlet in Sidoarjo is part of a local tradition that is believed to bring bad luck, disaster, and even death. Although the majority in the area are Muslims, this myth is still believed by some people to this day. This article examines the views of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah village scholars on the myth of the prohibition of marriage between the residents of Sepande Village and Banjarpoh Hamlet. This type of research is empirical research using a sociological approach. The research data was obtained through interviews, observations and documentation. The data was analyzed comparatively to compare the opinions of the two scholars. The results of this study show that Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah scholars agree against the myth of the prohibition of marriage between the people of Sepande and Banjarpoh, because they do not have a strong legal basis in Islam. According to the scholars of Nahdlatul Ulama, the myth is included in the category of 'urf fasid, which means it cannot be used as an argument (hujjah), but under certain conditions it can still be used socially as a form of prevention against non-kufu’ marriage for the sake of benefit. Meanwhile, Muhammadiyah scholars strongly reject all forms of myths that lack a basis in the Qur'an and Hadith.]]>
