Perkawinan Dalam Perspektif Hukum Adat Bali

Abstract

According to Balinese customary law which is based on Hindu religious law, there
are forms of marriage that have their own uniqueness and these types of marriages are not
regulated in Law Number 1 of 1974 as amended by Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning
marriage. The forms of marriage that are currently still developing in Bali are ordinary
marriage, nyeburin/nyentana marriage, marriage in Gelahang, inter-caste marriage. The
marriage is valid after the mebyakala ceremony is carried out, while other ceremonies
are considered additional. Marriage from the perspective of Balinese customary law is
that a marriage will give birth to kinship and customary relations. In Balinese customary
society, it is more directed towards a patrilineal kinship system, meaning a straight line
of descent from the male side (Purusa) who is the successor to the family.
