Understanding the sociology of customary law in the reformation era: complexity and diversity of society in Indonesia

Abstract

Although this customary law is official in Indonesia, its existence and use are minimal. At the same time, customary law is the primary source of state law in building law towards the perfection of legislation. Although customary law is not written down in the context of recognition, it is still recognized even though it is within certain limits and consensus. So, this is what we consider to be the complexity resulting from the socio-cultural diversity in Indonesia so that the existence of customary law is not recognized by national law. We have carried out this study using the review method on a hundred pieces of evidence of field findings, and we present it in this report so that we gain a deep understanding of how to understand customary law and the complexity of the socio-cultural diversity of Indonesian society.
