The Sociology of Law Approach in Understanding Customary Land Disputes in West Sumatra
Keywords:
Sociology of Law, Ulayat Land Disputes, Minangkabau Customary LawAbstract
The positivist approach to understanding legal issues, particularly regarding customary land disputes in West Sumatra, presents its own challenges. The Minangkabau customary law's unwritten nature makes ulayat land disputes complex when analyzed solely from a normative juridical standpoint. To effectively address these issues, it is essential to move beyond legal regulations and delve into community practices and legal understanding using a legal sociology approach. This method advocates for resolving ulayat land disputes in Nagari Baruah Gunuang through peaceful means, such as deliberation and consensus, in line with prevailing customs dictated by the customary hierarchy known as bajanjang naiak batanggo turun. Even before cases reach the Nagari Customary Council, disputes can be settled by niniak mamak ampek jinih associated with the disputing parties. A sociological approach, rooted in empirical legal facts, underscores that customary law is the original, unwritten law of the people, evolving within the community across generations. This approach proves more relevant in comprehending and addressing ulayat land dispute issues.
