Analisis Pendekatan Trilogi KUPI terhadap Budaya Pisuke dalam Pernikahan Masyarakat Suku Sasak

Abstract

This study investigates the socio-legal tensions between the Pisuke tradition—a pre-wedding economic obligation in Sasak marriage customs in Lombok, Indonesia—and the reformist gender-justice framework advanced by the Congress of Indonesian Female Clerics (KUPI) through its Trilogi methodology. Pisuke, though historically conceived as a social safety net for the bride's family, has progressively acquired commodified dimensions that systematically marginalize women's agency and burden domestic stability. Employing a qualitative socio-legal approach, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with twenty-three participants comprising traditional leaders, Islamic scholars, women's rights activists, and newly married couples across three districts in Lombok. The study applied the Trilogi KUPI—encompassing the principles of justice, equality, and humanity—as the primary analytical lens, situated within the Maqasid al-Syari'ah framework of Yusuf Al-Qardhawi and the classical jurisprudence of 'urf (custom). Findings reveal three structural patterns: the commodification of bridewealth as a social-status marker, the erosion of women's decisional autonomy in marriage negotiations, and the tension between textual-conservative interpretations of Islamic law and KUPI's contextual hermeneutics. The study concludes that a reformulation of 'urf through the ethical parameters of KUPI's Trilogi offers a viable pathway to honour Sasak cultural identity while aligning matrimonial practices with the foundational Islamic principles of gender equity and human dignity.
