Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
This research aims to study the dynamics of inheritance system related to the birth of girls in a marriage result in Hindu society in Praya City, Central Lombok Regency. The dynamics are related to the influx of modernization and emergence of public awareness in understanding of Hinduism teachings. The dynamics of marriage system are indicated by a shift in inheritance. In the original system of inheritance is more likely to position boys as purusa to gain inheritance, while girls who have pradhana status do not get the right to receive inheritance, especially in the form of inherited land. The inheritance system is very closely related to the obligations that must be implemented by boys, both in the family or in community life. The influence of modernization and the emergence of awareness in understanding the teachings of religion becomes an important determinant in the action that leads to change, namely by giving inheritance to girls even though the daughter has married and reside with her husband. Inheritance to girls, as mandated in the Manawa Dharmasastra scripture indeed should be done. It implies that a child born into a family should have proportional rights and obligations.
