Based on the results of research that researchers have conducted, legal awareness of the Timung Village Community is still low because the Timung Village Community does not know and understand that cu furnace marriage (incestuous marriage) is prohibited in the Marriage Law, so that after the Marriage Law has come into effect in 1974 the Timung Village community still practices cu furnace marriage until 2005. The legal awareness of the Timung Village Community after the Marriage Law came into effect in 1974 against the ban on marriage was caused by several factors such as, customary factors, low level of education, compulsion due to arranged marriages by parents, lack of legal counseling from the government regarding the prohibition of marriage contained in Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. The existence of furnace cu marriages at this time, is rarely found and has begun to fade, influenced by several factors such as bans from the church, fear that offspring will be born defective, the influence of social media.
