Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Catholic Church's pastoral care for marriage in traditional marriages of the Dayak Banyadu people in Banyuke Hulu, West Kalimantan. The study was conducted using a mixed methods research method with a sequential explanatory design. The results showed that the level of respondents' understanding of the Dayak Banyadu traditional marriage procession and Church marriage law reached a very good percentage (80.00%), indicating adequate understanding among traditional leaders. However, the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Catholic Church's legal care for marriage still showed less than optimal results. This finding was reinforced by the results of interviews with three key informants who consistently stated that the care had not been effective. Field observations confirmed that the process of integrating Catholic Church marriage law into the Dayak Banyadu traditional marriage procession had been implemented.

Review

This study, titled "Analisis Efektivitas Pastoral Hukum Perkawinan Gereja Katolik terhadap Prosesi Nikah Adat Suku Dayak Banyadu Kalimantan Barat," addresses a compelling and culturally sensitive topic: the integration and effectiveness of Catholic Church marriage law within the traditional marriage customs of the Dayak Banyadu people in West Kalimantan. The research clearly articulates its aim to analyze the effectiveness of the Church's pastoral care for marriage in this specific socio-cultural context. The employment of a mixed methods research design, specifically a sequential explanatory approach, is a strength, indicating a robust methodology designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex interaction. The findings presented are both significant and nuanced. The study reports a high level of understanding, with 80.00% of respondents, including traditional leaders, demonstrating a very good grasp of both Dayak Banyadu traditional marriage processions and Catholic Church marriage law. This suggests a successful initial phase of knowledge transfer or pre-existing cultural literacy. However, critically, this high level of understanding does not correlate with optimal effectiveness of the Church's legal care for marriage. This crucial distinction is well-supported by the research's triangulation of data: consistent statements from three key informants during interviews reinforced the "less than optimal" effectiveness, and field observations confirmed the *implementation* of integration processes. While the study successfully identifies a significant disconnect between understanding and perceived effectiveness, the abstract suggests a need for deeper exploration into the *reasons* behind this "less than optimal" outcome. Future research building on these valuable foundational insights could delve into the specific practical, cultural, or theological barriers hindering the full efficacy of the Church's pastoral care, perhaps exploring community perceptions of relevance or accessibility. Nevertheless, this study makes a valuable contribution by rigorously documenting the current state of integration, providing a critical baseline for both the Catholic Church and the Dayak Banyadu community to reflect upon and potentially refine their approaches to marriage pastoral care, ultimately fostering a more effective and culturally attuned framework.
