The problem of managing inheritance in West Sumatra, especially in Minangkabau, is getting more and more difficult to resolve through deliberation to reach a consensus. This can be seen from the increasing number of cases of inheritance disputes in court. It cannot be denied that one of the causes is the weakening or decreasing role or involvement of women in the management of inheritance which is traditionally "assigned" to Minangkabau women. The decline in women's participation in the management of inheritance in Minangkabau is inseparable from the lack of knowledge of Minangkabau women in this era of globalization regarding the status of “Minang women”. The era of globalization is said to have had a big influence on the mindset of Minang women on their status and role. Therefore, it is necessary to increase knowledge about the role of Minangkabau women in the management of inheritance so that then it will lead to women who have the capacity to manage these heritage assets. In the end, by strengthening the role of women in the management of inheritance, it can minimize the conflict problems that can occur.

The Minangkabau society is famous for the tradisional philosophy of adat basandi sarak, sarak basandi kitabullah (ABS-SBK). Education and religious values have been passed down from one generation to another. However, it is still not going well. It is seen with the many women who are trapped in negative terms. They are very weak people in the economy and religious education. The goal to be achieved in this study in find out the causes of Minangkabau women who are continually involved in the world prostitution. The focus of this research is the woman in the localization of the goddess Aro, West Sumatera. The method used by researchers is qualitative with case studies in the Andam Dewi. The findings suggest that those involved in prostitution were women aged 17-27 years old because of the economic factors and religious knowledge are very weak. Other findings also show the weak role of Mamak in Minangkabau in monitoring its ministry.
