Abstract

Marriage is a series of sacred processions that cannot be separated from the provisions set by religious law. The implementation of marriage cannot be separated from the social culture of society which is still sustainable for generations. Each region has traditions that must be obeyed by the local community and are manifested in the form of taboos and prohibitions in weton geyeng marriages. It is called geyeng because of the meeting of two people who have a market in terms of weton wage and pahing, meaning rocking or not fitting. If forced to marry, the age of marriage will not last long and is prone to separation. This type of research is qualitative with a case study approach to understand the taboos of geyeng marriage analyzed from the place, time, and cultural background. Data collection methods are through observation and interviews, while data analysis uses interactive models. The results showed that the history of geyeng is interpreted as a form of respect for the ancestors with its application to life. The prohibition of weton geyeng marriage in Kalipait Village from the perspective of sociology gave rise to the phenomenon of because motiv and in other to motive. Because motiv is the reason for carrying out cultural traditions, while in other to motive the purpose of carrying out cultural traditions is for fear that if you do not carry out it will be fatal.
