“…Others have focused on marriage strategies at the family and individual levels: Cleuziou (2016Cleuziou ( , 2017Cleuziou ( , 2019 has argued that marriage in Tajikistan is both a constraining institution in the realm of gender norms and a possibly enabling practice for women who want to achieve socioeconomic integration, through the performance of socially expected gender roles and economic transfers. Ismailbekova (2015Ismailbekova ( , 2019 has analysed marriage strategies among Uzbeks in Osh (Kyrgyzstan) as substitutes for state institutions when the latter fail to ensure people's protection and security in times of conflicts. Yet, she shows that in a patriarchal context where preserving honour may be more important than physical protection, women's actual security in marriage was not the main goal; marriage served to reshape ethnic and national barriers.…”

Many Central Asians speak of marriage as important and self-evident despite the fact that marriage in practice across the region presents a more complicated story. There is not only an extensive array of practices indicated by the single term marriage and a wide variety of things accomplishes by its conclusion and duration, but many non-marital sets of relations in Central Asia similarly realise what marriage does. This may lead one to question whether there is any sense in trying to pin marriage down at all. Yet, this tension — the flexibility of marriage in form and function, and its overlap with nonmarriage on the one hand, and its abiding importance and, at times, self-evidentiary nature, on the other — we suggest, lies at the heart of marriage-as-practice in Central Asia. Following recent turns in kinship studies, and long-standing feminist traditions, this paper envisages marriage as a relational practice of legitimization rather than pinning it down as a particular content. We argue that by focusing on the act of getting married in particular, its particular efficacy, as well as the disputes, questions, and conflicts that sometime arise as a result – in short, the quandaries of getting married – we get not only at this tensional nature of marriage, but at the everyday concerns and major societal issues wrapped up in marriage in Central Asia.

“…In order to maintain kin affiliation, solidarity, and the ability to ensure that resources remain within the control of the group, arranged marriages are seen as capable of realizing the goals of endogamous marriage (Omoye & Monica, 2019). Without exception, arranged marriages were chosen as a strategy to maintain groups in conflict-prone areas, such as what happened in the Uzbek community in the city of Osh, Kyrgyzstan (Ismailbekova, 2020).…”

Marriage with the principle of endogamy in the context of arranged marriages, as observed within the family of Kiai Sukorejo in Situbondo, is influenced by religious, cultural, and Sufi tradition factors. The research uses the phenomenological method to delve into the meaning behind the phenomenon. Marriage is regarded as a means to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet, strengthen religious devotion and Faith, reinforce family bonds, and preserve the existence of the Islamic boarding school (Boarding School). Aspects of lineage, religious commitment, and scholarly qualifications take precedence in arranged marriages as an implementation of the concept of kafa'ah in Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh). The mystical understanding derived from Sufi teachings also affects perspectives and actions in accepting arranged marriages. This research provides a significant contribution to understanding social Sufi jurisprudence (Fiqh) and the practice of endogamous marriages within the context of Islamic boarding schools. The study's findings offer valuable recommendations for developing social fiqh understanding, remarkably grounded in Sufi teachings. It is important to note that this study has a limitation in that it did not involve female informants, which should be a crucial consideration in analyzing and exploring the meaning of arranged marriages.
