<![CDATA[This paper aims to find out how the practice of prohibiting marriage with erturang in the Karo Muslim community in Palding Jaya Village, Sumbul, Tigalingga District, Dairi Regency, what is the reason they still practice the ban on marrying erturang, and how the views of Dairi Regency ulema about the ban on marrying with erturang. This research is an empirical juridical research, using a legal sociology approach. Primary data sources were obtained by interviews with scholars of Dairi Regency and the Karo Muslim community. The results showed that the Karo Muslim community in Palding Jaya Sumbul Village still follows the customary belief about the prohibition of marrying erturang even though they have embraced Islam, which allows arbitrary marriage. They think that random relationships are like incestuous relationships that are not suitable for marriage. Dairi Regency scholars argue that the law of marrying erturang is valid in Islamic shari'a because there is no nash that forbids it. However, some ulema assert that the prohibition of erturang marriage has become a strong culture in the community that aims to maintain the kinship and speech system among the community, so it can be categorized into 'urf that can be implemented.]]>
