But on the other sides, merarik also can causes conflict between families (Ahmad
Fathan,2011). Disagreement of one party against the taking of girls often lead to conflict
between them. Because, some practices in the tradition violate the women's rights and their
parents. Women cannot choose a future husband that they love. in addition, cases of early-age
marriage also often occur. Likewise with the education rights, when Sasak women are
married, most of them eventually drop out of school.
“I was married when I was 14 years old, it was in the second grade junior high school, now I
am 19 years old and have given birth three times”. Besides that, according to public figure
on International SAMANM Journal of bussiness and sciences “ We may not be able to
control the age of our children's marriages, because we cannot predict when our children
will be taken / stolen in connection with the culture of merarik that has been adopted by
Sasak people”.
In conclusion, every culture has a different marriage tradition. Like the Mbojo Bima
tribes, they use the engagement system before marriage because that is their custom, and
Sasak Lombok tradition, which requires the bride to be taken away (merarik) by the groom
before marriage. So, every tribe in each region certainly wants to maintain their cultural
customs. like the Sasak Lombok tribe which has the merarik (elopment) tradition. Merarik
tradition should be maintained in Sasak Lombok culture because merarik is the symbol of
man virility (superiority), The prestige of women in their families, and Merarik can create a
sense of togetherness among the whole family and society.
