Penerapan Hukum Waris Adat Di Lampung Memahami Nilai Adat Yang Terkandung Di Dalamnya

Abstract

The application of customary inheritance law in Lampung reflects a living cultural value system in which traditional principles continue to guide the distribution of inherited property. Lampung’s customary inheritance law does not only regulate the material aspect of inheritance but also embodies social, moral, and spiritual dimensions aimed at maintaining harmony, balance, and kinship unity within the community. Its implementation is rooted in core traditional values such as piil pesenggiri (dignity and honor), nemui nyimah (hospitality and mutual respect), nengah nyappur (tolerance and fairness), and sakai sambayan (cooperation and solidarity), which serve as the moral foundation of Lampung society. Through these values, inheritance distribution is not merely based on the amount of wealth but also considers the social roles, responsibilities, and positions of each heir to achieve proportional justice. Amid the development of national law and globalization, Lampung’s customary inheritance law remains relevant because it upholds universal values such as justice, balance, and mutual respect, adapting to modern changes without losing its cultural identity. Therefore, a profound understanding of the traditional values embedded in Lampung’s customary inheritance law is essential to preserving local wisdom and strengthening the existence of customary law as an integral part of Indonesia’s legal system.
