This paper analysis the dissolution of inter-caste marriages, nyerod ‘descended caste’ marriages, and their implications for Balinese women in the perspective of human rights. The focus of this research is the position of Balinese triwangsa caste women (those who are from Brahmana, Ksatriya, and Wesya) whose nyerod marriages are dissolved. The method used was the empirical legal research method using a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, an analytical approach, a sociological approach and a human rights approach. As an analytical tool for the legal issues studied, the theory of Human Rights (HAM) was applied because factually the Balinese customary law community is still attached to the recognition of caste even though there has been a Bali DPRD decision Number 11 of 1951 which negates the implementation Patiwangi ceremony, the ceremony of neutralizing one's caste position. The data used were obtained through direct observation and interviews with informants based on purposive sampling technique. The result of the analysis shows that the existence of caste in the Balinese customary law community is actually a burden for triwangsa women whose marriages are dissolved, because the Balinese triwangsa women who have chosen the nyerod marriages are considered out of their original caste, so they can no longer be recognized as part of the triwangsa clan, even though from a human rights perspective the Balinese customary law community highly respects human rights. However, in the event that the marriage was dissolved, socio-culturally it turned out that the elderly people from Puri or Griya, those who belong to triwangsa did not re-recognize the caste of Balinese women who were returning to their home family, even though they were their own biological children. The strong attitude of the elderly people of the Puri or Griya palaces in refusing nyerod marriages bring implication that the triwangsa women were afraid and ashamed to return to their original homes/family because they feel they are no longer part of the triwangsa clan.

“…Different caste marriages affect the level of speech used by women to communicate when speaking. They must adjust the level of language used based on caste level (Praminatih, 2021). In addition, a woman from a higher caste gets married to a man from a lower caste.…”

This study aims to analyse the language used by Balinese women who have inter-caste marriages (Nyerod) in their communication with their families. A phenomenological technique was applied in this study. Serokadan Susut Bangli is the location of the research. The data was gathered in two ways: through observation and interviews. During observation and interviews, the researcher took notes. The objects of study were (1) the language used by men's families to communicate with Balinese women; and (2) the language used by Balinese women to communicate with their families before and after marriage. Three Balinese women were the subjects. The data was examined following the procedure described by Miles and Huberman, which included reducing the data, interpreting the data, and drawing a conclusion. The result showed differences in the language used, where the men's families use low-level Balinese or Basa Bali Biasa to communicate with Balinese women of inter-caste marriages (Nyerod). The language used by Balinese women to communicate with their families before marriage was Basa Bali Madia, and after marriage, they used the polite Balinese language or Basa Bali Alus.

“…The Portuguese coined the term caste to describe the division of work in Indian society during colonialism in the 16th century. In India, the caste system is divided into four categories (Praminatih, (2021) . First, Brahmins at the top of the hierarchy consisted primarily of teachers and intellectuals who were believed to have descended from the head of Brahman.…”

“…Consequently, this distinction defines the speech levels employed, i.e., whether one speaks (refined), madya (middle), or (low) Balinese. People with jaba status address brahmana with sophisticated or elevated language, whereas brahmana does not necessarily do so (Praminatih, 2021).…”

Bali is an island and a province with a beautiful culture. Most Balinese are Hinduism. Like in any other country, Balinese Hinduism also adopts the caste system. The caste system in Hinduism means that people are classified based on their social status. Balinese people live in a complex caste system relationship that has continued to exist since the days of the kingdom in Indonesia. This research aims to know the perception of the Balinese local people against the caste system in the modern era. The method used in this research is by interviewing one local Balinese person from each caste who might be related and an expert from each caste, analyzed uy using the perspective of Arjun Appadurai. This research finds that the caste system is no longer a determinant of success in the modern era. However, the caste system still affects the way of communication among the people of Bali, and the imprints can still be found in the daily life of the locals.
