<![CDATA[This study analyzes the position of Balinese women's inheritance rights within a gender-just customary law system in the Customary Villages of Badung Regency. Employing a juridical-empirical method across four villages (Mengwi, Sibang Gede, Petang, and Jimbaran), it examines the interaction between patrilineal traditions (purusa) and national legal reforms. Findings reveal that while traditional systems restrict women's rights over ancestral property, significant dynamics have emerged following PERMA No. 3 of 2017 and the MDA Bali Decree No. 04/2023. Gender justice implementation varies; urban areas exhibit greater flexibility through family agreements, whereas agricultural regions develop informal compensation mechanisms. Primary obstacles include deep-rooted patrilineal philosophy, social pressure, and women's economic dependence. The study concludes that achieving a gender-just inheritance system requires synergy between internal transformations of local wisdom and protective national legal frameworks, while preserving Balinese cultural identity.]]>
