Abstract

The background of this research is the discovery of problems in Gampong Teungoh, such as the
practice of marriage sermons by young men and women. However, in the practice of marriage
khitbah, there are still several activities which violate the applicable customary provisions; there are
even some activities in the practice of khitbah that violate the provisions of Islamic law. Based on the
description of the problem, to limit the problems studied, the authors formulate the problem as
follows: 1) How is the practice of marriage sermons in Gampong Teungoh, Langsa Kota District -
Langsa City? 2) What is the view of Islamic law regarding the practice of marriage sermons in
Gampong Teungoh, Langsa subdistrict, Kota, Langsa City? The methodology used in this study is
qualitative with an empirical normative approach. In this study, the informants were village heads and
other community leaders. The practice of khitbah in Teungoh Gampong, Langsa sub-district, Kota –
Langsa City does not violate custom; however, nowadays, there has been a custom shift that has
occurred in the Gampong Teungoh community, which has found additional activities carried out in the
khitbah procession, while these activities violate customary norms and Islamic law. The additional
activity that is carried out is the embedding of gold by the prospective groom to the prospective bride
on purpose, of course this violates customary provisions, activities like this are classified as Ikhtilat
actions, namely the meeting of men and women (who are not mahrams) at somewhere mixed and
there is interaction between men and women on purpose.
