<![CDATA[Abstract The problems addressed in this study focus on how the Dayak Tobag traditional marriage ceremony in Teraju Village is carried out, including the customary stages that contain philosophical values and sacred meanings. The study also highlights the shifts in traditional practices caused by modernization, financial constraints, and social changes within the community. In addition, the research examines the extent to which the implementation of Dayak Tobag traditional marriage aligns with national marriage law and the legal measures taken by the community to ensure protection and legal certainty for married couples. This study employs an empirical legal research method to observe how the Dayak Tobag traditional marriage is practiced in reality. Data were obtained through interviews with customary leaders, village officials, and community members, as well as through direct observation of the customary procession and the collection of relevant documents. The collected data were then analyzed by reducing, presenting, and drawing conclusions so as to provide a clear depiction of the actual implementation of the customary practices and their relationship with national law. Based on the research findings, the Dayak Tobag customary marriage in Teraju Village, Toba District, Sanggau Regency is still carried out through the main customary stages, namely Pado’k, Senggan Bebayo’, Tonya’ Menonya’, Batunang, and the marriage ceremony, which contain sacred meanings and emphasize togetherness, social solidarity, and respect for ancestors. However, there has been a shift (pergeseran) in its practice, as several customary stages have been simplified due to the influence of modernization, financial considerations, and community mobility. Despite this shift, core customary values such as the consent of both spouses, family involvement, and social aspects remain preserved. Moreover, the implementation of the Dayak Tobag customary marriage remains aligned with national marriage law, as reflected in marriage registration as a legal effort to ensure legal protection and certainty regarding the legal status of spouses, children, inheritance rights, and other civil rights and obligations, without diminishing the cultural identity of the Dayak Tobag community.
