Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: The tradition of Uang Panai’ remains a significant and distinctive element in Bugis marriage customs, particularly among Bugis migrant communities in Mimika Regency, Papua. This practice often creates social, economic, and cultural complexities, especially when viewed through the lens of Islamic law in a pluralistic society. While Uang Panai’ symbolizes respect, responsibility, and seriousness in building a household, its high nominal value frequently becomes an obstacle to marriage.
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the practice of Uang Panai’ in Bugis marriages in Mimika Regency from the perspective of the sociology of Islamic law, particularly in relation to the concepts of ‘urf (custom), maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, and maslahah-mafsadah.
Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach with a normative-sociological method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants (traditional leaders, religious figures, and community leaders), observation, and documentation. The analysis integrates Islamic legal sociology theory, particularly the perspectives on ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah.
Results: The findings reveal that Uang Panai’ functions as a living ‘urf ṣaḥīḥ within Bugis society because it contains values of respect for women, male responsibility, and family honor. The amount is strongly influenced by the bride’s education, occupation, and social status. Although it has positive impacts in encouraging responsibility and maintaining cultural identity, excessively high demands can create economic burdens and delay marriages. From the maqāṣid perspective, this tradition supports ḥifẓ al-‘irḍ (protection of dignity), ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of lineage), and ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property) when implemented proportionally.
Implication: The practice of Uang Panai’ should be maintained but requires continuous guidance so it does not contradict the Islamic principle of facilitating marriage. Religious leaders and customary figures need to socialize the balance between cultural preservation and sharia objectives.
Originality: This study offers a fresh academic contribution by examining the implementation of Uang Panai’ among Bugis migrants in Timika, Papua — a context that has received little previous attention. Unlike most existing research focused on South Sulawesi, this study integrates the sociology of Islamic law by analyzing the dynamic interaction between living custom (‘urf) and maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah in a multicultural migrant environment.)
