VIEW TO ORIGINAL PAGE Yohanes Wempi Community activist, focus on minangkabau culture FOLLOW Marriage Sasuku, Abstinence of Minangkabau Custom 16 January 2014 07:30 | Updated: 24 June 2015 02:47 The rapid era of globalization has eroded the cultural values of Minangkabau adolescents. Particularly the phenomenon of the lives of adolescents (men and women) who are now trapped in a free life without boundaries, between promiscuity jo gadih in traditional Minangkabau. In the end they violated the prohibition jo adaik (customary law). His condition is very severe. Minang teens do promiscuity above the tolerance threshold. They no longer know the principles of the Minangsawah nan bapamatang. They do not know the conditions with awapiengapiapi lawui. So, there are many records of irregularities that occur as a result of promiscuity, such as girls who become pregnant out of wedlock, rape, free sex, drugs and others. The promiscuity that occurred among the Minangkabau adolescents resulted in rampant promiscuity and intermarriage of one tribe (sasuku). Sasuku marriage referred to here is a relationship and marriage / marriage that is conducted between men and Minangkabau women who are still in the relationship of one tribe (one clan). For example, the bachelor Amir married the Upiak Marin, who were both tribes with one urn head and different head. Or academically, according to Prof. Damsar, if a person is prohibited from marrying Sasuku, it is called a ban on the exogamy of the clan. Whereas in Minangkabau lineage based on maternal lineage, it is called a ban on matrilocal exogamy. So that Sasuku marriage is not a context of halal and haram marriages, but marriages that are built on the basis of Jo Jo Paresodan oath / agreement in the standard rules of the ancestors. In the law of the Bajawek nan which is run and fertilized by the mamak prince / ninik now. The ban on the association and marriage of Sasuku for the Minangkabau community was finally mandatory. Because, the Minangkabau people view that Sasuku relationship is a family relationship, a close relationship. Therefore, social relations and marriages that are still in the Sasuku category are considered as violations of adat. So, the association and sasuku representation is important to be addressed by the mamak prince / ninik, when there is violation by kamanakan relatives, then the customary sanctions will be implemented strictly. If you see the relationship and marriage Sasuku is usually caused by many factors. Among them, for a long time to migrate, there are male and female couples who are both migrants, in the overseas they meet. Like and finally married / married. In the marriage without knowing the origins of the ancestors first in Minangkabau or without involving mamak in the process of marriage and marriage, when returning home to the realm of Minang it was realized that they were sasuku. So, separated and sanctioned by the prince / mamak. There is a Sasuku marriage due to promiscuity without fairness. As the philosophy of Minang explains the effect of the excavation deck galitiak, very busy deck Bagesoh. This means that because there is no boundary of religious norms between men and women, so there is a special relationship, dating the language of teenagers now. Due to a lack of understanding of adat, or the inseparability of the relationship, eventually they married / married and ran to an overseas. Because they were unable to live overseas they returned home, then the headman / mamak gave sanctions. Many other factors that cause association and marriage / marriage of Sasuku occur. In the Minangkabau tradition, Sasuku marriage is strictly prohibited. If violated, the couple who do the marriage will be given customary sanctions, ie sanctions are thrown away, echoed by indaks baapi, in high hangs no batali. This means that the person who does the Sasuku marriage / marriage will be expelled or banished from the tribe by the prince / mamak. Or one of the pairs to replace / move rates. That is the firmness of traditional sanctions from marriage / marriage to Sasuku, which was upheld in Minangkabau. In some nagari, clans, tribes in Minangkabau, the prohibition of marriages and sasuku marriages are still proceeding strictly. Although, in scientific discussions, academics still find debates about Sasuku marriage / marriage allowed or not. But in this paper the author does not see from the context of the debate whether or not to marry Sasuku. However, trying to see from the context of the good arrangement of life and social arrangements related to or customary social relations, especially for adolescents. According to the author, if this Sasuku marriage custom is implemented and implanted deeply among teenagers, the values of the “basandi syarak-basandi syarak we can” become increasingly entrenched on a smaller scale namely the tribe and the nagari. That is, the youth in one tribe and the nagari can be anticipated to be exposed to the virus of the free association of globalization, because, between one tribe, they already feel themselves to be one family, automatically if the life of one family will maintain the social relations between them. Moreover, mamak is able to instill the values of the Islamic religion in the association of people and tribes, the personality of adolescents will be more cultured and religious. At present, in general the lives of Minang adolescents do not understand and do not understand the values of the prohibition of marriage / marriage Sasuku. If analyzed, the prohibition of marriage / marriage of Sasuku is a nature of values which has a broad meaning of adat principles. Sasuku marriage / marriage does not only forbid them to marry / marry but there is a civilized social etiquette that can be developed in a technical form. Not just forbidding and giving sanctions on marriage to Sasuku. But, there are values of goodness contained in them. As Minangkabau people, the technical prohibition of marriage / marriage of Sasuku values contained therein needs to be developed and implanted. Like a sibling, it is certain to maintain communication relationships, maintain social relationships, maintain individual interactions, and many other things. If the values of Sasuku marriage can be cultivated in the life of Basuku or Banagari, the analysis of the writer in the future, the free association that occurs in this worrying Minangkabau community among adolescents can be anticipated. So that, in the future society out of adolescent diseases, then in the future there will be no more girls who are pregnant out of wedlock, no free sex, and others. (*) Featured Videos
