Abstract:

Purpose: Marriage must be based on the willingness of each party to become husband and wife to form a happy family without any coercion from any party. If a marriage is entered into without the consent of both parties, the marriage can be a reason to cancel the marriage. Arrest marriage is a process where a woman is taken by force or violence by a man to become his wife and then carries out a traditional procession through the replacement process. The purpose of this writing is to look at the tradition of capture marriage that occurs on Sumba Island from a human rights perspective.

Research Methodology: The method used is normative research.

Results: The results of the research show that a woman who is already under the control of a man (in this case married and arrested) no longer needs his consent whether she agrees or not to be taken and used as a wife. This is of course in conflict with Article 2 of the Marriage Law where the consent of the parties, both the man and the woman, is the main thing. Arrested marriages which are carried out by not giving a woman the freedom to determine with whom she will build and maintain a household are a violation of human rights. Article 1 of the Human Rights Law provides an understanding relating to human rights violations, namely every action of a person or group of people, including state officials, whether intentionally or unintentionally, taking or depriving human rights. From a human rights perspective, it is clear that any type of action that causes torture and fear, both physically and spiritually, is a violation of human rights.
