Piil Pesenggiri; Local Living Law between Enforcing and Diminishing Fiqh Munakahah

This study aims to analyze how a local living law intervenes with fiqh munākahah while turning it into living practice either in enforcing or diminishing the ideal concept of the latter. Piil Pesenggiri, a form of local wisdom within Lampung community does shape and construct how local Muslim practice their religion in term of wedding and marriage. However, its position aligning with fiqh munākahah in solving the daily family problem of local Muslim was not clear enough. This study employs a socio-legal approach using qualitative methods. Data were collected through fieldwork, in-depth interviews with purposively selected informants, customary leaders, religious figures, and married couples across Central Lampung, South Lampung, and Pringsewu. The data were analyzed using living law framework, specifically how Piil Pesenggiri as a normative ‘inner order’ negotiates with formal fiqh doctrines which reconstruct the daily practice of Islamic family law in. The findings reveal that Piil Pesenggiri does either enforce or diminish Islamic law as Muslim guidance in organizing wedding and living a married life. This negotiation is really obvious in how Lampung people practice Islamic law in their family, ranging from the concept of qiwamah or family division of labor, family conflict resolution, to a series of wedding provision.
