Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine and examine the tradition of Piti Maranggangu seen from the prespective of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning marriage. The research uses normative research methods that examine customary law norms and Indonesian marriage law norms using a case study approach. The data source in this research is secondary data in the form of primary legal material in the form of customary law of Sumba marriage and Law Number 1 of 1974. The result shows that some issues the piti maranggangu tradition in Sumba seen from the perspective of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is contrary to Article 2 concerning the validity of marriage, contrary to Articles 6 and 7 concerning the conditions of marriage. Because the provisions in Law No.1 of 1974 are mandatory, the provisions of customary law in piti maranggangu are invalid and have no legal force. Moreover, the practice of piti maranggangu, which is 'coercive' towards prospective brides, violates women's human rights. In order for the practice of piti maranggangu not to conflict with Law No.1 of 1974, there needs to be guidance and supervision so that in the future the practice of piti maranggangu is adjusted to Law No.1 of 1974, such as age limits, agreement, and recording.
