FENOMENA KAWIN LARI (SETAKATAN) PADA MASYARAKAT DI KOTA KAYUAGUNG, KABUPATEN OKI
The phenomenon of elopement (selakatan) continued to occur within the community of Kayu Agung, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, as an alternative for couples who wished to marry but faced various obstacles. The purpose of this study was to understand the reasons behind the motive, the purposes of the motive, and the meaning of elopement (selakatan) based on Alfred Schutz’s phenomenological perspective. This research employed a qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with informants who had engaged in the practice of selakatan. The findings revealed that the motives included economic limitations, traditional constraints, and the absence of parental approval. Meanwhile, the motives were to marry immediately, to achieve certainty about marital status, and to establish a household. For the individuals involved, selakatan was interpreted as a solution to the problems they faced, although it had the potential to create conflicts within families and the broader community. Therefore, elopement (selakatan) could be understood as a social action that carried subjective meaning, shaped by past experiences and future expectations of the actors. Keywords: Elopement (Selakatan), Because of Motive, In Order to Motive, Alfred Schutz Phenomenology.
