Traditional marriage in Pulau Buaya Village is not just the union of two individuals, but also a bond between two large families that involves social, cultural, and economic aspects. The traditional marriage customs in this village have significant stages that reflect the values of collectivism and respect for ancestors.

The findings show that the customary marriage law in Pulau Buaya Village has been adjusted to Islamic principles, but practices still exist that contradict Islamic law. The implications of this study are the need for an integrative approach in formulating marriage policies that respect cultural diversity while remaining in accordance with Islamic and national legal principles.
