LARANGAN PERCERAIAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ADAT LAMPUNG

Abstract

The people of Lampung have a paradigm that marriage is life and death, while divorce is taboo and forbidden, because it will separate the two large families according to custom. This study aims to examine the paradigm of the Lampung indigenous people regarding the prohibition of divorce in the perspective of maqasid sharia. This research is a type of qualitative field research with a socio-philosophical approach in reviewing maqasid sharia, while the primary data is by interviewing Lampung traditional leaders and communities, while the secondary data is books and articles published by talk about the prohibition of divorce in the indigenous people of Lampung. Philosophically, the people of Lampung have a life philosophy of piil pesenggiri (self-esteem) and for the sake of maintaining the sacredness of the Lampung Pepadun traditional marriage which is carried out according to religion and custom, so that divorce becomes a disgrace, because it will lower family pride. However, this does not mean that it is absolute, that divorce is an emergency exit, even though it is taboo for adat. Meanwhile, historically, this customary prohibition law has been passed down by previous ancestors which was preserved by the indigenous people of Lampung for the sake of protecting their descendants (hifdzu nasl).
