Abstract

Melalaken is the process of asking a woman to marry him. This tradition exists in Subulussalam City. The practice of melalaken is where a man who wishes to marry a woman of his choice takes her away from home, brings along a village elder, and then surrenders himself to a village official, such as the village imam. This study aims to examine the dynamics of engagement within the melalaken tradition and to determine its impact on the community of Muara Batu-batu Village, Rundeng District, Subulussalam City. This study used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach to examine primary data obtained from observations and interviews, and secondary data obtained from literature analysis. The results indicate that the melalaken tradition has changed from its predecessor. In this tradition, the participants no longer follow the established melalaken regulations. Nowadays, the parents of the woman give in to the immediate performance of the marriage contract for their daughter. The participants view this tradition as forgiveness for adultery.
