The research is grounded in the increasing phenomenon of social mobility and intensified cross-cultural encounters resulting from population movement driven by educational pursuits and employment opportunities aimed at improving living standards. These conditions have contributed to interethnic marriages that give rise to interethnic Muslim families. Accordingly, this study seeks to critically analyze how social dynamics, ethnic differences, and Islamic values shape parenting practices, while also uncovering the mechanisms of cultural negotiation in child-parenting, particularly in the formation of children’s identity, character, and morality. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study design that integrates perspectives from ethnoparenting, family anthropology, and cultural acculturation theory. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and the documentation of life narratives of four interethnic Muslim families (Javanese–Minangkabau and Javanese–Sundanese) in Borobudur Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, and were subsequently analyzed using thematic and interpretative methods. The findings indicate that child-parenting practices in interethnic Muslim families in Borobudur Subdistrict constitute a complex, dynamic, and multilayered social process shaped by ongoing interactions among the cultural knowledge of partners from different ethnic backgrounds, local social structures, and Islamic values as the primary normative framework. Javanese culture, as the dominant culture of the residential environment, exerts a significant structural influence, particularly in family hierarchy, social harmony ethics, and orientations toward obedience. However, this influence does not operate hegemonically, as it is simultaneously negotiated with non- Javanese cultural knowledge, such as matrilineal principles and independence in Minangkabau culture, as well as emotional attachment and affection in Sundanese culture. In practice, childparenting is confronted with structural, cultural, and interpersonal challenges stemming from differences in value orientations between partners regarding discipline, gender role distribution, communication styles, and expectations for children’s futures—differences that are often reinforced by contrasting kinship systems and extended family intervention. Additional factors, including educational level, migration experience, economic conditions, and a multicultural social environment, further influence couples’ reflective capacity in managing these differences. Interethnic Muslim couples respond to these conditions by developing contextual and fluid adaptive strategies, ranging from assimilation, enculturation, and cultural transition to dual biculturalism, manifested in family language choices, disciplinary patterns, religious habituation, and the internalization of moral values and children’s identities. Overall, the findings affirm that child-parenting in interethnic Muslim families is the outcome of negotiated knowledge between two cultures, resulting in hybrid, adaptive parenting patterns that are continuously reconstructed in response to children’s development and changes in the family’s social context.297.577 Hukum Keluarga Islam, Bimbingan Pernikahan, Poligami, Perceraian, Iddah, Pengasuhan Anak)2026-04-06UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;PASCASARJANAThesis
