Abstract

The stages that are passed according to the Riau Malay custom are divided into 3 (three) namely: the pre-wedding procession, the marriage preparation procession and the post-wedding procession. The purpose of this study was to find out the procedures for the Riau Malay Traditional marriage in Tambak Village, Langgam District, Pelalawan Regency. This type of research is empirical research (juridical sociological) with data collection through interviews and literature study. The procedure for marriage of Pelalawan Malay Indigenous in each sub-district is different from other sub-districts. If in Pangkalan Kerinci the marriage procedure uses delivery money and merisik (Memimang) first, then in Langgam the term is different again, the name is embracing in a pool which means (Negotiating/Introduction Stage) does not bring gold. In the Langgam area, merisik or the terms that apply in Langgam (along in the pool) do not need to wear a ring, and in the Langgam area, to dive in the pool only needs to bring important parties such as mother, uncle or grandmother to ask the woman, and after a week, the woman receives merisik/smells in the pool and returns to the man’s house who wants to propose to give an answer whether the intention to propose is accepted or rejected. The implications of the existence of differences in marriage procedures for each region in Pelalawan Regency provide diversity and characteristics in Malay Customary Law in Indonesia.
