“…Research by Zainuddin et al 33 and Assaad et al 34 shows the encounter and collaboration of local culture and Islamic law which vividly shows how those two can be either in harmony or in conflict. On the other hand, Beccmann's research found ulema fighting customary traditions that contradict Islamic law 35 which strengthens that this case repeatedly happens in diverse contexts. When Minangkabau ulema used the method of war to solve the contradictions, ulema around the Samin community provided continuous understanding in a peaceful manner.…”

This article seeks to examine the legal culture of the Samin community in relation to their preferences in family law, the persistence of the customary law in the community, and the transformations that have taken place in Samin family law. The data of this article is derived from an ethnographic study conducted at various Samin villages in Central Java between 2022 and 2023. Information was gathered via in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The study's findings suggest that the government does not officially recognize marriage within the Samin community. However, the Samin family law has undergone a significant transformation. It underwent a substantial change which involved the government officially acknowledging the Samin beliefs. The research findings reveal symptoms of the Samin family law which underwent a transformation from customary law to local fiqh characterized by a mystical style. Efforts are being made to establish formal legal frameworks that accept the belief in God Almighty and incorporate legal practices. The legal negotiations led to the emergence of natural law plurality which in practice, is influenced by politics, social, and culture.

Gama in the Mongondow Muslim community is considered mandatory to determine a marriage’s validity. Therefore, this study aims to examine in depth the relevance of customary and Islamic law to the tradition of gama in the Muslim community of Mongondow, North Sulawesi. The study was conducted in the Bolaang Mongondow area of North Sulawesi using a juridical-sociological approach. Data were collected using observation, interviews with traditional and religious leaders, as well as document study. The steps in data processing include data collection, presentation, reduction, and verification. Furthermore, analysis was carried out using the concept of urf and receptie a contrario. The results showed that even though the gama tradition predates the arrival of Islam in Bolaang Mongondow area, its implementation has Islamic values, otherwise known as urf shahih. The community upholds the noble values of traditions passed down by their ancestors. Islam teaches that the gama tradition has a symbol of respect for women. This indicates that customary and Islamic law play a joint role in shaping the life of the Bolaang Mongondow people. Conclusively, respect for the existence of women is a noble value in the Customary law of the Mongondow people.
