<![CDATA[This study examines the customary sanctions for kawin ka rantau (marrying without notifying the Niniak Mamak) in the Jorong Koto Hilalang community, Nagari Lambah, Agam Regency, from the perspective of 'Urf. This qualitative research gathers primary data through interviews with Niniak Mamak, local community members, and the perpetrators, alongside secondary data from Islamic law literature, academic journals, and relevant written references. The findings reveal that violators are subject to a customary fine called maisi adat ka nagari, amounting to sasuku or satangah rupiah (approximately 3.5 Ameh). Based on the buek adat salingka nagari regulation, perpetrators can only be tried by the Niniak Mamak umpuak or nan barampek upon returning to their hometown. The fine must be paid within six months; failure to do so results in the perpetrators and their families facing ditinggalkan sepanjang adat, which entails exclusion from all village customary activities until the obligation is fulfilled. From the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence, these sanctions are categorized as 'urf al-khash (special/local custom) because they apply exclusively to Jorong Koto Hilalang, and they meet the criteria of 'urf sahih (valid custom) as they promote maslahah (public interest), align with common sense, and do not contradict Islamic principles.]]>
