Many elements of culture and tradition are preserved well as they can still be seen today in all parts of Bali. Its culture and traditions are preserved well because Balinese people regulate strict law on their everyday life. Balinese traditional law which is called adat regulates various aspects of life (Dharma, 2003). One of the elements of culture which is still regulated strictly by adat is marriage system. Balinese has several marriage systems according to Utomo (2012), they are:
a. Mapadik System In this system, the groom’s family asks for the bride to marry the groom in a ceremony; and after the wedding ceremony is held, the bride lives permanently in the groom’s house.
b. Ngerorod/ Rangkat System: This system is held because there is no approval from the couple’s family about their marriage. The bride is then eloped by the groom to have simple ceremony in his relative’s house.
c. Nyentana/Nyeburin System: This system is the opposite of Memadik system. If in Mepadik the groom’s family asks for the bride, in Nyentana, the bride’s family will ask for the groom. It happens when a family has no sons to take care of its family properties and continue the family lines.
d. Melegandang system
This system is already forbidden in Bali because melegandang means kidnapping. Melegandang happened in Bali on the kingdom ages hundreds years ago when the kingdoms still had absolute authority in Balinese society. So when a powerful aristocrat man kidnapped a girl, there was not any lawful effort to save the girl who was kidnapped.
One of the four marriage systems which is respected the most by Balinese people is Mepadik, since Hinduism marriage principle states that marriage is monogamous in which the man, husband or groom is the breadwinner of the family (Patrilineal marriage system). Ngerorod also follows patrilinial marriage system, however this marriage system is not rspectful because Ngerorod is done when the couple could not get approval from their parents and they have to elope to their relatives’ house to hold a small wedding ceremony.
