Abstract

Arranged marriage is still warm to be discussed because it can make one of the couples suffer, especially women. Cases of arranged marriage were still a discussion in the news in Indonesia. One of the Javanese literary works that discussed the arranged marriage was Kumandhanging Katresnan (KK) by Any Asmara. The marriage is regarded as fulfilling the destiny of God. The characters in the novel KK are required to be obedient to the marriage of his destiny. This research aims to describe the criticism of fate in the novel KK through the characters. This research uses qualitative methods with sociological approaches. The results showed that the arranged marriage could have psychologically adverse impacts on women and susceptible to violence. Any Asmara wants to give criticism to parents who do not listen to their children in making decisions and the only importance of social status in conducting a marriage. Nevertheless, he also gave criticism to individuals who did not receive his destiny. In the end, the characters as individuals have the freedom to determine their lives, but it can be concluded that the individual who is grateful to God’s determination will obtain peace and happiness.
