Peranan Pentahelix Dalam Menjaga dan Melestarikan Hukum Perkawinan Adat Lampung

Abstract

The customary marriage law of Lampung represents a cultural heritage embodying moral, social, and religious values that have traditionally governed marital relations within the community. However, modernization and globalization pose significant challenges to its preservation and practice. Therefore, a synergistic collaboration through the pentahelix approach—involving government, academia, business actors, the community, and the media—is essential in maintaining and revitalizing this traditional legal system. This study aims to analyze the roles of each pentahelix element in safeguarding and promoting Lampung’s customary marriage law, as well as to identify effective models of collaboration in the context of contemporary society. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through literature review and interviews with traditional leaders and relevant stakeholders. The findings reveal that the synergistic role of the pentahelix strengthens public legal awareness, systematizes the documentation of customary practices, and integrates local wisdom into the national legal framework without diminishing cultural identity. Cross-sector collaboration is proven to be a crucial factor in ensuring the continuity and relevance of Lampung’s customary marriage law in the modern era.
