TRADISI PERKAWINAN MATRILOKAL PADA MASYARAKAT TANEAN LANJHANG DALAM PEMENUHAN HAK DAN KEWAJIBAN PENYEDIAAN TEMPAT KEDIAMAN DI KABUPATEN PAMEKASANNIM.: 24203011083Zahrotul Habibah, S.H.authorThe matrilocal marriage tradition in the Tanèan Lanjhàng community in Pamekasan Regency shows a discrepancy in fulfilling the obligation to provide a residence according to Islamic family law. In the matrilocal tradition of the Tanèan Lanjhàng community, residence is generally provided by the wife's family, whereas in the normative construction of marriage law, providing residence is the husband's obligation. However, matrilocal practices are still maintained by the community today as part of local traditions. The community's understanding of fulfilling the rights and obligations of providing a residence in this practice has not yet been studied much from the perspective of Islamic family law. Therefore, this research aims to analyze why this practice is maintained to this day, as well as the understanding and attitudes of the tanèan lanjhàng community in Pamekasan Regency towards fulfilling the rights and obligations of providing residence in matrilocal practices. This research is qualitative empirical legal research with a socio-legal approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews with 14 informants, namely matrilocal actors in tanèan lanjhàng in Kadur, Pakong, and Proppo Districts. This study also used questionnaire data completed by 65 respondents from the Pamekasan Regency community who did not reside in the Tanèan Lanjhàng area, consisting of adherents of matrilocal (57 people), patrilocal (6 people), and neolocal (2 people). The questionnaire was intended as supporting data to confirm the findings of the interviews. The data were analyzed descriptively and interpreted using Max Weber's social action perspective and Eugen Ehrlich's living law theory as analytical tools. Research findings indicate that the practice of matrilocal marriage within the tanèan lanjhàng community is maintained because it is believed to provide protection for women, preserve the continuity of the kinship system, and strengthen social control within the extended family. This practice is shaped not only by prevailing community customs but also by rational actions that give rise to two typologies of understanding: cultural understanding and integrative understanding. The study also reveals that matrilocal residence is not an antithesis to Madurese patriarchal culture but rather a form of negotiation that reinforces the protection of women. From the perspective of living law, this tradition constitutes a "living custom" that has gained social legitimacy and established a construct distinct from positive law; however, within the framework of Islamic family law, it does not displace the husband's obligation to provide maintenance (nafkah) but rather serves as an effort to achieve maṣlaḥah (public interest or well-being) in the context of marriage.346.01 Hukum Keluarga - Hukum Pernikahan2026-08-24UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS SYARIAH DAN HUKUMThesis
