TRADISI MASYARAKAT TENTANG NA’AS TAON DAN RELASINYA DENGAN PANTANGAN MENIKAH DI BULAN MUHARRAM (AS-SYURO) DI DESA GUNOSARI, KECAMATAN TLOGOSARI, KABUPATEN BONDOWOSO

Abstract

The Javanese community traditionally believes in ancestral traditions, one of which is the belief and conviction regarding the prohibition of marriage in the month of Suro. This study focuses on examining the tradition of marriage in the month of Asyuro, the community's views on marriage in Asyuro, and the implications of marrying in Asyuro in Gunosari Village, Tlogosari District, Bondowoso Regency. This type of research is a field study, and the data is qualitative in nature. The research location is in Gunosari Village, Tlogosari District, Bondowoso Regency. The results of the study show that the tradition of prohibiting marriage in the month of Muharram ('Asyuro) in Gunosari Village is still strongly upheld because the community believes that this month brings misfortune (na’as taon), which can lead to divorce, death, and even economic difficulties in the household. The community of Gunosari Village has differing views regarding marriage in the month of Muharram. Some adhere to Islamic teachings, which do not prohibit the execution of such marriages, but still respect Javanese customs. Meanwhile, some people believe in na’as taon and avoid holding marriages during the month of Suro. In reality, marriages held in the month of Ashura can still be harmonious or not harmonious. This shows that household harmony is not determined by the time or month of the wedding. However, it is determined by the readiness, sincerity, and responsibility of the couple in living married life.
