ABSTRACT
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of Study
Indonesia is a country which has many tribes: Bataknese, Javanese,
Acehnese, Minangkabaunese, etc. These tribes have their own tradition. Tradition
is something that has been done a long time and become a part of the life of a
community. Tradition could be information passed on from generation to
generation, both written or oral.
Among many tribes in Indonesia, one of them is considered unique, that
is a tradition in Pariaman society in West Sumatera, it is heritage. This tradition is
practiced when parent inherintance will fall to girls. This legacy will not fall into
the boys if there were no wills of their parents. The girls in Minangkabau society
is very valuable, as all parents will be given a legacy to the girls such as land,
houses and property. On the other hand, the boys just get a room in the house, if
the boys are married and then divorced, he will get right inside the house but only
the room and will not become his property. If they do not practice this tradition,
they will not get blessing from their parents. To get blessing from parents, they
must obey their parents order. That is why, this tradition is still practiced in
Pariaman community.
Based on the above statement, the writer is interested to raise this
heritage as her topic. Since the writer wants to introduce that the heritage as a part
Data for this paper is gained trough library and field research methods,
that is by reading some books concerned with the topic and asking some questions
to Pariaman community around who still of practice heritage as tradition. Thus,
this heritage will be known and will be an information for us.
1.2 The Scope of the Study
There are many tradition that need to be practiced in Pariaman such as
Batabuik, wedding, heritage etc. But, it is certainly impossible to explain them all
in this paper. Therefore, the writer just focused on heritage and how this tradition
is still practiced in Pariaman community.
1.3 Purpose of the Study
By writing this paper, the writer wants to inform, introduce, and preserve
the tradition of Pariaman community to the reader. The objective of the study is to
explain heritage and how this tradition is still practiced in Pariaman community.
1.4Significance of the Study
This paper discusses heritage as tradition in Pariaman community and
how this tradition is still practiced in Pariaman community. Besides that, it can be
the source to the other community who has different tradition.
The writer believes and hopes that this writing will enrice information on
Indonesian culture, especially Pariaman. Besides that, it can be used as reference
2. DESCRIPTION OF PARIAMAN 2.1 Community in Pariaman
The community of Padang Pariaman pronounce, “Pariaman” as
“Piaman.” This term is also used by Pariaman people who live in other cities in
Indonesia like Medan, Jambi, etc. By using the term, “Piaman,” Pariaman people
feel close to their community. This term is only used by people or community
who came from and was born in Pariaman area, not for the community who came
from Mentawai archipelago.
Piaman community were known for their tradition and faithful to
other belief, even half of term might be called fanatic. Both of tradition element
and Islam teaching caused their relationship was very closed. It was proved in the
beginning of independence war after 17th August 1945, with integrity, religion and
the tradition is all of revolution enemies when many people swept it at that time.
As proof, until this time there is no foreigner in Pariaman (Padang Pariaman
regency), especially China group. At G30 S/PKI did cup in Indonesia, at that time
all of people who indicated to be the folower of that China group has been swept
clearly by many people no matter who it might be. Both of these events more
were done like hunted in the jungle.
Piaman community also like working together based on tradition
and religion. They built some facilities together such as places to pray, and school.
They also help their neighbors if they get troubles or they are in difficulties.
Moreover, if a wedding party is held in their area, they will help and work
Besides there is positive things that characterize Piaman
community, there is also negative ones based on the prespective of someone who
analyzed it. In Pariaman is known for its “jeer.” For other region in West
Sumatera, it is called “irony.” But this jeer is different based on the purpose and
the significance of the analysis. If the irony may be an impolite feeling or ideas
which refers to action form or someone’s saying. So that the action or that words
can be changed or repaired to be polite.
The most important characteristic of Piaman is “preman.” The
word “preman” comes from english language ”freeman.” We know that this
Piaman area had been colonized by Portuguese, England and so forth. It means
that the preman is mischievous. It is done by adolescent who can not control their
attitude in daily life. This thing often has bad effects to community. Some
Pariaman community has this kind of attitudes because they are open with other
tradition or they have it since they stay in their home town such as Medan, Jakarta
and so forth. It does make the tradition in Pariaman community change because
this tradition is still be dominated by old people meanwhile time will change the
tradition.
There are other characteristic of Pariaman community that should
be counted on, that is wandering and love their home town. Many Pariaman
communities wander to other people area. They call this as a specific character to
love their home town although the wander who has been rich in other people area,
nevertheless he keeps remembering his home town and builds house in his home
Piaman community also have good personality such as polite,
thoughful, loyal, fair, efficient, wary, brave because right, wise, patient, diligent,
and modest. All of these personalities are reflected in Pariaman community daily
life, so that they have good relationship that make them live harmoniously and
peacefully.
2.2 Location of Pariaman
Pariaman city is one of the 19 regencies / cities in West Sumatra
Province. Pariaman city was inaugurated as the Autonomous City with the
enactment of Law No. 12 of 2002. Geographically located at 0 ° 33'00 "- 0 °
40'43''south latitude and 100 ° 10 '33''- 100 ° 10'55" east longitude. Pariaman city
lies on a strategic route across the Western portion connecting Sumatra, North
Sumatra and West Sumatra's provincial capital, Padang. Located around 56
kilometers from Padang, or around 1 hour away by bus and around 25 miles from
Minangkabau International Airport. District parent is Padang Pariaman, then the
entire region bordering the district of Padang Pariaman. Administratively
Pariaman City has three district namely: District of North Pariaman, Pariaman
Central and South Pariaman. The city is an expanse of lowland Pariaman located
on the west coast of West Sumatra Province with a height between 2 to 35 meters
above the sea with a land area of 73.54 km ² and the area 282.69 km ² with a sea
of 6 pieces of small islands: island Bando, Gosong Island, Ujung Island, Tangah
Island, Angso Island, and Kasiak Island. A Long beach approximately 12.7
As to the other areas located on the west coast of Sumatra island, Pariaman city
have this kind of volcanic rock. Area topography, geomorphology and form
regions together form a pattern of river flow. Pariaman city is traversed by four
rivers that through the District of North Pariaman, Batang and Batang Jirak
Piaman passing through Central and Trunk Subdistrict Pariaman Mangau through
South Pariaman. Pariaman City area is wet tropical climate is strongly influenced
by westerly winds and very short dry months. Annual rainfall reaches about 4055
mm (in 2006) with a length of 198 rainy days. The average temperature 25.34 ° C,
with air humidity average 85.25 and the average wind speed of 1.80 km / hour.
The dry season and rainy season always changing is time. Such a climate allows
for the growth of various plants, but rainfall and high humidity levels which cause
various problems, such as plants that need dry climate could not grow well, is an
obstacle for post-harvest handling of certain commodities which require hot
weather and sunny during the drying process, constraints in commodity storage,
reduced the number of productive working days and a negative influence on a
number of commodities. The climate also influences the amount of fish catch for
fishermen.
2.3 History of Pariaman
Pariaman in ancient times is an area that is known by foreign
merchants since 1500. The oldest records about Tomec Pariaman found by Pires
(1446-1524), a Portuguese sailor who worked for the Portuguese empire in Asia.
He noted there has been trade traffic between India with Pariaman, Tiku and
had held the horse trade that brought from Batak to the Land of Sunda. Later, the
French nation came about in 1527 under the command of a politician and
businessman namely Jean Ango. He sent two merchant ships headed by two
brothers namely Jean and Raoul Parmentier. Both these vessels had entered the
offshore Pariaman and stop in Tiku and Indrapura. But his men attacked disease,
so the record of two brothers is not much found.
Date 21 November 1600 for the first time the Dutch nation
stopover in Tiku and Pariaman, that is 2 ships under the command of Paul van
Cardeen which sailed from the north (Aceh and Pasaman) and then followed by
another Dutch ship. Cornelis de Houtman who arrived in Sunda Kelapa 1596
Pariaman also pass through the waters. Year 1686, people began to relate to
British Pariaman. As a region, located on the seashore, Pariaman has become a
destination of trade and conquest of foreign nations who do cruise ships a few
centuries ago. Port entreport Pariaman was very advanced. But with the passage
of the port is getting lonely because one of the causes is the start of construction
of the railroad from Padang to Pariaman in 1908.
With in and out of a very long struggle towards a definitive city,
Pariaman finally officially established as the Autonomous City on July 2, 2002
based on Law No. 12 of 2002 on the establishment of Pariaman in West Sumatra.
Previous City Administrative City Pariaman status and become part of the district
of Padang Pariaman under Government Regulation No. 33 of 1986. Pariaman city
was inaugurated on 29 October 1987 by Minister of Home Affairs Supardjo
Roestam with the first Mayor of Drs. Adlis Legan. The struggle towards the city

3. THE DESCRIPTION OF HERITAGE 3.1 The Meaning of Heritage
The history traditions and qualities that a country or society has had
for many years and that are considered an important parts of its people. Heritage
is usually passed on to his son or family. Inheritance is the transfer of rights and
obligations of all the properties, or dependents of a deceased person to his family
who are still alive. "And for every person we have put the heirs of the mother's
father and close relatives who are nearest and those who have tied the oath of
allegiance to you, then barikanlah to those parts.”
3.2 The Heritage in Civil Law
In the civil law, there are two ways to get heritage that is as heirs
under the provisions of law and as designated in your testament. In the heritage
law applies a principle, that only the rights and obligations in the legal field of
property wealth that can be inherited. In other words only the rights and
obligations that can be valued by money. Therefore, the rights and obligations in
the field of family law in general or the rights and obligations of personality, for
example the rights and the obligation as the one affected husband or a father can
not be inherited, as well as the rights and obligations of a person as a member of
an association.
In addition, the law established that there are people associated
with the position or job or relationship with the heir, was not allowed to receive
the benefits of a testament made by the heir. These are the notary who made the
will and the witnesses who attended the making of the will. Who is entitled to
members of the heir, divided into various groups. If there are people from the first
group, those that are jointly entitled to inherit all the inheritance. While other
family members did not receive any. If not there are family members first, then
people who are included in the second group appeared as a fellow. So, if there is
no family of the second class, then people come forward third.
In the first group is children and their derivatives in the bottom line, with not
distinguish men and women and do not distinguish the order of birth. They
exclude other family members in line to the top and side lines, although it may be
among the family members who have a degree these days is closer to the heir. In
the second group included parents and relatives of the deceased. The parents
basically equated with siblings, but for parents held the regulations to ensure that
he would get a share of not less than a quarter of inheritance. If not there at all
family members from the first and second classes, inheritance was split into two
equal parts. That is, one for paternal family members and others for family
members of the mother of the heir.
In terms of legislation mentioned “fidei-commis” that is a legacy gift to a
beneficiary to the provisions, he shall save the heritage, and after passing some
time or if the beneficiary's own has died, a legacy that should behanded over to
other people that have been defined in a will. People who will receive the
inheritance is called "verwachter." Because he inherited it with the first pass
through the hands of heirs, then the way this kind of inheritance by law is called
also "erfstelling over de hand," that is the grant of a stepped heritage. The heritage
time and not separately specified or excluded from the law. This is considered a
major obstacle for the smooth travel process of law. As an exception, there are
two kinds of inheritance are stepping permitted by law. The first, to satisfy one's
desire that would prevent the wealth spent by their children.
In the testament, people allowed to make a determination so that their children
should not be selling heritage objects and objects that were then passed on again
to the children of the inheritance itself. And the second, that a beneficiary must
pass again in the future what is still left from the legacy he earned it. So just rest it
to other have been defined.
In this case, we can accept or reject the inheritance. If you open a
legacy, heirs may choose whether to accept or reject a legacy that, or there is also
possibility to receive, but with provisions he will not be obligated to pay the debts
of the heir, which exceeds the share in inheritance. Full acceptance can be done
with the express or secretly. If one with a deed accept his position as a fellow. If
secretly he did an act with debts of the dead, may be deemed to have received it in
full inheritance. Rejection must be carried out with a statement to the local court
where the estate was already open, either acceptance or rejection is always valid
from the day the death count of people who leave a legacy.
If there is a legacy of open and no one has come forward as the heirs or persons
known as the heirs all the estate was rejected, then the inheritance was considered
to be not neglected. In such a case, the heritage hall with no need to wait for
instructions from the magistrate, shall take care of that heritage. At the time it
took the maintenance of heritage hall heritage should notify the local public
considered neglected or not, it will be decided by the magistrate. The heritage hall
are required to make notes about the state of the inheritance. If necessary can be
preceded by the confiscation of goods, and so clear that heritage.
The collect accounts receivable, accounts receivable and pay the debts of the
dead. About the acts that, if desired by the authorities, then the heritage hall must
give account. The heritage hall are also required to call the fellow that may exist
with public calls contained in the letters and other appropriate means.
If after the lapse of three years starting from the opening of
inheritance has not been there an heir who come forward or report, the heritage
hall will make the accountability of the maintenance of the heritage to the country,
who will be entitled to take possession of all goods and property inheritance
legacy that will become state property.
3.2 The Heritage In islamic Law
Islamic Shari'a inheritance rules specify the form of a very orderly
and fair. In it established the right of property ownership for every man, both men
and women in a way that is legal. Islamic Law also establishes the right of transfer
of ownership of a person after death to the heirs of all the relatives and families,
without distinguishing between male and female, big or small.
The Qur'an describes and specifies in detail the laws relating to inheritance rights
without prejudice to the right one. Part to be received entirely be explained
according to the position of heir to the family, whether he was a child, father,
division of inheritance, whereas the provisions on inheritance taken from the
hadith Rasullah saw and the consensus of the scholars are very few. It could be
argued that in Islamic syariat law and very few verses in the Qur'an that details of
a law in detail and detail, unless the law of this inheritance. This caused such
inheritance is a form of ownership is legal and justified Allah SWT. In addition to
that property enforcement is a milestone of life both for individuals and
community groups.
Islamic inheritance law is basically sourced to several verses of the
Quran as the word of God which is derived great prophet Muhammad apostles of
Allah and Hadith which consists of words, deeds and things that silenced apostles.
Either in Al-Quran and the hadiths apostle inheritance legal basis exists which
clearly set, and there is implicitly, sometimes even contain only the basics course,
the most common basis or source of the inheritance law in the letter An-Nissa; on
the other side of sura-sura as a helper. As mentioned in surah an-Nissa: 5 reads,
“and do not give your treasure to the people who are not perfect minds (wealth)
which God created you as a maintainer. But give them something to eat and
clothing to him. And said into them with good words .”
That what is meant by the estate or inheritance is the property of
someone who died, can be:
1. Property that can be assessed by including in it the money that would be
billed receivables (activa).
2. Property which is the debt to be paid on death (passiva).
3. Property that is still mixed with innate property of each husband and wife,
a. Innate property of husband and wife or a wife or husband are obtained
or assessed before they are married either come from their own
business, or property acquired as a legacy of their own.
b. Innate property acquired or owned after they married and became
husband and wife, but not because of his efforts, for example due to
receive a grant inheritance from their parents giving each and etc.
c. Property acquired during the marriage or their business husband and
wife or one of them by law to be community property.
4. Innate property that could not be owned directly by their husband and wife
such as inheritance of the tribe or their relatives are taken as the first
capital in a marriage that must return to the origin or tribe.
Inheritance or legacy so it is a treasure which is the inheritance that
can be shared individually to heirs inheritance is a whole after less the innate
property husband and wife, innate property of the tribe, reduced again with the
debts of the deceased.
Understanding heritage known among the fuqaha is heir of all
things left behind, either in the form of property (money) or other. So, in
principle, all that was left by the deceased expressed as a heritage. This includes
the related debts, whether it is doubtful debts relating to the subject property (such
as lien status of the property), or doubtful debts relating to personal obligations
that must be fulfilled (credit or dowry payments that have not been given to his
In the heritage by the Fuqaha is:
1. All purposes and financing the funeral heir should use his property, with a
note should not be excessive. The cemetery purposes embraces everything
that is needed deceased, since his death until his funeral. Among other
things, the cost of bathing, the purchase of the shroud, funeral expenses,
and so on until the deceased arrived at the final resting place.
2. Let the debts are still borne by the heir to fulfilled first. That is, the heir
inheritance shall not be distributed to heirs before the debt claims are
fulfilled first. This is based on the words of the Prophet :
"The soul (spirit) of the believers depend on its debt until fulfilled."
The purpose of this hadith is doubtful debts concerned with our fellow
human beings. As if the debt is related to Allah SWT, like not paying
zakat, or has not performed the vow, or a fine not met, then among
scholars there is little difference of opinion. According Mazhab Hanafi
that the heirs are not required to fulfilled.
3. Obligation heirs will fulfill all over does not exceed the amount a third of
all his assets. This is if it will, it is for people who are not heirs, and no
protest from any one or even all heirs. The implementation of the heir's
will be done after some of the treasure was taken to pay for funeral
purposes, including taken to pay debts.
Between the heirs and the other one turned out to have different degrees and
sequences. The following will be mentioned in the order and degree:
1. Ashhabul furudh. This is the first class were given the inheritance. They
are the ones who have determined its share of the Qur'an, the Sunnah.
2. Ashabat nasabiyah. After ashhabul furudh, then ashabat nasabiyah receive
a share. Ashabat nasabiyah which is any remaining relatives of the heir
who receives inherited property that has been distributed. In fact, if there
were no other heirs, he is entitled to take the entire inheritance. For
example, a boy the heir, grandson of the boy the heir, the heir's siblings,
biological uncle, and so on.
3. Additions to ashhabul furudh appropriate section (except husband and
wife). If the estate has been distributed to all heirs still remains, it should
be given to each ashhabul furudh according to with sections that have been
determined. The husband or wife is not entitled to receive an additional
part of the remaining estate. For inheritance rights for the husband or wife
because of the marriage bond, while the main family because relatives
more than others to get additional.
4. Bequeath to family. What is meant here is family the heir who still have
links womb - not including ashhabul furudh also 'residuary heir. For
example, an uncle (mothers brother), aunt (mother's brother), aunt (her
father), grandson of a daughter, and granddaughter of girls. So, if the the
heir do not have family as ashhabul furudh, nor 'residuary heir, the family
5. Additional inheritance rights for the husband or wife. If a testator has no
heirs, including ashhabul furudh and 'asabah, There is also no family who
have ties womb, then the estate is entirely for the husband or wife. For
example, a husband dies without having family who are entitled to inherit,
then the wife get one-fourth part of the estate left behind, while the rest is
in addition to the right of heirs. Thus, the wife has all her husband's
inheritance. Likewise husband against wife inheritance of the deceased.
6. People who were given more than a third testament the heir property.
What is meant here is someone else, meaning not one and heir. For
example, someone dies and has ten children. Before he died he first gave
testament to all or part of their children in order to give some property to
someone who is not one of his heirs. Even the Hanafi and Hanbali schools
of thought can give the entire estate if the heir is his will that way.
7. State treasury. If a person who died did not have heirs or family as
described then the entire assets were handed over to the state.
These are the parts of the class of heirs male: (1) boys, (2) grandson (the son), (3)
father, (4) grandfather (father side), (5) male siblings, (6) half-brother, (7) sons of
my mother's brother, (8) sons of male siblings, (9) boys of the sons of my mother's
brother, (10) uncle (siblings father), (11) uncle (father half-brother), (12) boys
from uncle (father's siblings), (13) boy's half-uncle, (14) husband, (15) male
emancipate slaves.
And these are parts of the class of heirs female: (1) girls, (2) mother, (3) girls
(mother of father), (6) siblings women, (7) half-sister, (8) sons of my mother's
4. THE HERITAGE IN MINANG PARIAMAN
In Indonesia, there are still diverse system of heritage laws that
apply to nationals of Indonesia, that is:
1. Civil law system inheritance west (Europe).
2. System of customary inheritance laws a diverse system that is influenced
by ethnic forms in various environmental areas of traditional law, for
example, matrilineal system in MinangKabau, the Batak patrilineal,
bilateral in Java, such unilateral alterneren in Rejang Lebong or Lampung
Papadon, who treated the people Indonesia is still closely associated with
traditional law community concerned.
3. Islamic inheritance law system, which also consists of pluralism teachings,
such as inheritance teachings of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah, Syi’ah
teachings,and teachings Hazairin. The most dominant and is used in
Indonesia is the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah.
4.1 High Heritage
High heritage (Pusako Tinngi) is a treasure that not longer unknwon origin. While
the low heritage is still unknown origin or ancestry who still remember and pass it
around when acquired. According to Minangkabau culture. Obtained with the
harta pusako tinggi with iron, harta pusako randah property obtained by gold.
Harta pusako tinggi is yang dijual tidak dimakan beli, digadai tidak dimakan
sando ( pusako tinggi can not be sold and moved to hands of others). And this is
inheritance should not be on sale and may only be pawned. High pawned legacy
can only be done after be discussed among the top brass, preferred pawned to the
same tribe but can also be pawned to other tribes.
The high heritage be pawned for 4 things :
1. Gadih gadang indak balaki (spinster who never married). If there is no
cost to mary young girls, while age is too late.
2. Mayik tabujua di ateh rumah (the corpse lying on the house). If there is no
fee to take care of the bodies which must be immediately buried.
3. Rumah gadang katirisan (big house is leaking). If there is no cost to
renovate the house, while houses have been damaged and rotten so it is not
habitable.
4. Mambangkik batang tarandam (unload the timber submerged). If there no
fee for the appoinment of a party prince (datuk) or the cost to educated
member of the higher level.
4.2 Low heritage
The above definition can be seen that the treatment of property
owned by the property in question is not so with an innate property. Although
conceptually each treasure has a different understanding, but in practice people do
not differentiate. This is evident when one of the parents has die, the inheritance
status is not disputed by the heirs if he is joint property or property defect. Heirs
are only stating that the property left by their parents is a legacy. Therefore, they
classify low legacy into several groups. Basically, these groups are the elaboration
of the definition of legacy low as someone who inherited property to her children.
Among others the following:
1. Pusako tali darah
Pusako tali darah is a legacy gained from the efforts of father and mother
passed on to offspring. Heredity is meant here is the biological child. In
accordance with the call it’s, strappy blood. Therefore, if there are other
children who do not come from the mother and father who seeks the
property (not the biological children) then the child is not entitled to this
legacy.
For example, a husband or a wife has acquired a parcel of land property
for joint venture and has several children. At the same time, for one thing
the husband remarried and had children. If the husband is dead then the
property is a parcel of land was the estates for some of his children with a
wife who participate get the treasure. The children of the husband with the
next wife is not entitled to a piece of land abandoned due to the mother of
the child does not participate in obtaining the treasure.
2. Pusako tali aka
Pusako tali aka shall have the meanings legacy that come from the results
of operations mamak. This property is divided into two parts. First, the
