Pergeseran konsep kufu’ menurut masyarakat keturunan Arab

Abstract

This article aims to deal with the questionsof that does the
concept of kufu’ influence marriage in the circle of Muslim-
Arab creoles society? Why it happens and what are the
relevant factors conditioning the phenomenon of marriage?
Applying sociology of law in approaching the case, this article
finds that although in the Arab-Muslim tradition kufu’
(equity) which means nasab(descent) considered can
guarantee and strengthen a harmonic marriage relation,
understanding on the nasab concept has shifted significantly.
This article argues that nasab in the context of modern
society has not become a primary reference in deciding
marriage.
