Abstract

There is a unique tradition in Bima that takes place before a wedding ceremony, known as kaboro co’i. Kaboro co’i is a communal activity in which people help a fellow resident who is about to get married by collecting funds for the dowry, bride price, and piti ka’a (wedding expenses), with the aim of ensuring the smooth running of the wedding event. This research focuses on the form of the kaboro co’i tradition in Bima's wedding customs and the perspective of legal pluralism theory on this tradition. This study is an empirical legal research using a sociological approach, examining law in relation to social aspects. Data were obtained through interviews and documentation, and then processed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that: (1) The kaboro co’i tradition arises from the awareness of the Bima community, which is characterized by strong kinship and mutual assistance. This tradition provides benefits to families preparing for a wedding, particularly by contributing additional funds for the dowry, bride price, and piti ka’a (non-refundable wedding funds), to support the smooth execution of the ceremony. (2) The tradition reflects values of kinship, mutual cooperation, and customary norms. These values are the foundation for the continued practice of kaboro co’i today. (3) The kaboro co’i tradition is a clear example of strong legal pluralism within the Bima community. In the perspective of John Griffiths’ theory of legal pluralism, law does not originate solely from the state, but can also emerge from the customs and informal rules practiced in daily life. This tradition is based on natural customs followed by the community without state intervention. Therefore, the recognition and protection of customary law are essential for developing an inclusive and contextual legal system.
